The song we'd like [E] to play for you now, you may well know,
it's a [D] Cotswold Robertson, [F] and it's called Look [C] Away.

[C#m] [A]
[F#m] [E]
[C#m] [B]
[B] This time [C#m] we run, this [B] time we hide,
[C#m] [C#] this time [C#m] we join all of our old evil [E] side.
We [G#m] need [B] some time
[A] to find [C#m] a place
where I can wipe away [B] the [F#m] madness from [E] your face.
[B] My name [C#m] is out, my [C#] name is home,
[C#m]
[B] my name is everywhere [C#] but homeless where we're blown.
[G#m] [G#m] My name [B] will be to [B] [C#m] kill me,
but I will show you how to live like no [E] one can.
So look away, [C#m] look away,
hide your [B] eyes from the love where I lie down.
Look away, [C#m] look away,
from the [B] lies and the stories that were told.
Look away, [C#m] look away,
from the love that I [A] wait to leave [E] with my soul.
[B] I met [C#m] you while you [B] stayed uptown,
[C#m]
[B] while I was waiting tired and bound to [C#] be sent down.
[C#m] [G#m] Oh, can [B] I not lose [B] the blue [C#m] one around?
So I raced back to the train [B] until I ran back to your [E] town.
Now look away, [C#m] look away,
hide your eyes [B] from the love where I lie down.
Look away, look [C#m] away,
from the lies and the stories that were told.
Look away, [C#m] look away,
[B] from the love that [F#m] I wait to [E] leave with my soul.
[A] [B] [E]
[C#m]
[A] [F#m]
[E] [C#m]
[B] [B]
You followed [C#m] me, and [B] I said no.
[C#m]
[B] He lay [C#m] with me when there was no one [B] safe to call.
[E]
[G#m] We made [B] some plans,
[A] but now [C#m] it's gone.
[F#] [E] I [C#m] always knew that we [B] would never find [E] the sun.
So [B] look away, [C#m] look away,
hide your eyes [B] from the love where I [B] lie down.
Look away, [C#] look away,
[A] from the [B] lies and the stories that were told.
Look away, [C#m] look away,
[B] from the love that [A] I wait to leave with [E] my soul.
Now look away, [C#m] look away,
hide your [B] eyes from the love where I lie down.
[F#] Look away, [C#m] look away,
from the lies [B] and the stories that were told.
Look away, [C#] look away,
[B] from the love that I wait [F#m] to leave [E] with my soul.
