Away

	  		
Am 
I remember the way, 
C 
Driving home late, 
Dm 
Speeding all the way. 
 F 
Alone in the rain. 
 
        Am 
I was rehearshing a part 
     C 
From down at the bar. 
         Dm 
My mouth smelled like a drink 
        F 
We were laughing, I think, 
 
           Am 
  I've been away. 
             C 
  I've been away. 
             Dm     F  (G - opt. 1 or 2 beats before An of next verse) 
  I've been away. 
   
 
Do you pick up the phone, 
Do you check your mail, 
Do you answer your door  
Even if it's late? 
 
I don't know who to call, 
I don't know who to write, 
And I think I forgot 
What your face looks like. 
 
  I've been away. 
  I've been away. 
  I've been away. 
 
Do you think that I've changed? 
I swear I never tried. 
Memory is a terrible thing. 
When you use it right. 
 
I was rehearshing a part 
From down at the bar. 
My mouth smelled like a drink. 
We were laughing, I think, 
 
  I've been away. 
  I've been away. 
  I've been away.
