Intro

D Em7 G (x2)
(When you play the D, you should hammer on the A on the 3rd string)

Verse 1

Line of people to pass you by,
Posing sympathy with their whitewash eyes
Ladies feigning their mourning cries
And the men shaking hands  

Chorus

Weigh Away
Way away
All the pictures in your mind
As you're passed the thousandth time
Thousandth photograph

Verse 2

Listen to sympathetic lies
As their reasons change under mourning guise
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
And drinking champagne  

Chorus

Weigh Away
Way away
As all the people pass and pose
You hold back the tears and hold
On to memories

Verse 3

Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
An urge to run away from the crowd
And mourn all alone  
Make a promise to no-one
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
Turn away from the chatter
And the hungry smiles
