(upstroke, do it quite fast. You have to know the song's timing!)
(The Bass, played by Roger Waters, joins the Intro)
Last night I had too much to drink,
Sitting in a club with so many fools
Playing to rules
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
I had another drink
Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink
What a way to spend that evening
They all turn up with their friends
Playing the game
But in the scene I should have been
Far away
Away, away, away, away, away...
Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
sus4
Then I forget
The telephone rings and someone speaks
She would very much like to go
Out to a show
So what can I do - I can't think what to say
She sees through anyway
Away, away, away, away, away...
Out of the front door I go
Traffic's moving rather slow
Arriving late,
There she waits looking very angry,
As cross as she can be
Be, a - be, a - be, a - be, a - be...
Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
I open the door to an empty room
Then I forget...
