Pink Floyd – Paintbox

Emadd9
Last night I had too much to drink
G
Sitting in a club with so many fools
C
Playing to rules
F                            Am
Trying to impress but feeling rather empty
F         C
I had another drink
Drink - a - drink - a - drink - a - drink

What a way to spend that evening
G
They all turn up with their friends
C
Playing the game
F                       Am
But in the scene I should have been
F   C
Far away
Away - away - away - away - away

B  B flat   A   A flat  G      G flat F   E
Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before
C              F
I open the door to an empty room
D          Dsus4 D
Then I forget

Emadd9
The telephone rings and someone speaks
G
She would very much like to Go
C
Out to a show
F                              Am
So what can I Do - I can't think what to say
F             C
She sees through anyway
Away - away - away - away - away

Emadd9
Out of the front door I Go
G
Traffic's moving rather slow
C
Arriving late,
F                      Am
There she waits looking very angry,
F             C
As cross as she can be

Be - a - be - a - be - a - be - a - be

B  B flat   A   A flat  G      G flat F   E
Getting up, I feel as if I'm remembering this scene before

C              F
I open the door to an empty room
D          Dsus4 D
Then I forget
