Way Away
by Toad the Wet Sprocket
off the "Bread and Circus" CD

contributed by Ryan Houlette
(rhoulett@depauw.edu)
another in the "This is how I play it, guys" series
you should really hear the original song to get the rhythms right

[intro]
D Em G (3x)

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

[verse1]
D Em G
Line of people to pass you by,
D Em G
Posing sympathy with its whitewash eyes
D Em G
Ladies feigning their mourning cries
D Em G
And the men shaking hands

[chorus]
A G
Weigh Away
A G
Way away
G C
All the pictures in your mind
G
As you're passed the thousandth time
Em G
Thousandth photograph

[verse2]
D Em G
Listen to sympathetic lies
D Em G
As their reasons change under mourning guise
D Em G
With the gentlemen feigning sorrowed sighs
D Em G
And drinking champagne

[chorus]
A G
Weigh Away
A G
Way away
G C
As all the people pass and pose
G
You hold back the tears and hold
Em G
On to memories

[verse3]
D Em G
Small talk hangs like a dirty cloud
D Em G
Saying nothing real but deafening loud
D Em G
An urge to run away from the crowd
D Em G
And mourn all alone
D Em G
Make a promise to no-one
D Em G
Wondering if you'd been worthwhile
D Em G
Turn away from the chatter
D Em G
And the hungry smiles

I think it's about a dead person and their funeral guests. The deceased is listening to what everyone is saying, noticing that no one is overly upset. They want to cry at the end of the song and hope that their life wasn't put to waste.
