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.
