| 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
| Emadd9 | |
| 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 a | way |
| 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 | D | sus4 | 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 any | way |
| 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 | D | sus4 | D | |
| Then I forget |
