If you walk away, I'll walk away
C
G
C
First tell me which road you will take
Am
G
C
Am
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
C
G
C
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way
C
G
C
And the future hangs over our heads
C
G
C
And it moves with each current event
Am
G
C
Am
Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
C
G
C
Just stay in when it's looking this way
C
G
C
And the moon's laying low in the sky
C
G
C
Forcing everything metal to shine
Am
G
C
Am
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
C
G
C
They argue walk this way, no, walk this way
C
G
C
And Laura's asleep in my bed
C
G
C
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says
Am
G
C
Am
"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
C
G
C
Baby don't go away, come here"
C
G
C
And there's kids playing guns in the street
C
G
C
And ones pointing his tree branch at me
Am
G
C
Am
So I put my hands up I say "enough is enough,
C
G
C
If you walk away, I'll walk away"
C7
And he shot me dead
Am
G
C
I found a liquid cure
Am
G
C
For my landlocked blues
F
G
C
Am
It'll pass away like a slow parade
C
G
C
It's leaving but I don't know how soon
C
G
C
And the world's got me dizzy again
C
G
C
You think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
Am
G
C
Am
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
C
G
C
So I'm always pacing around or walking away
C
G
C
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
C
G
C
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
Am
G
C
Am
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
C
G
C
If you love something, give it away
C
G
C
A good woman will pick you apart
C
G
C
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
Am
G
C
Am
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
C
G
C
But don't walk away, don't walk away
C
G
C
We made love on the living room floor
C
G
C
With the noise in the background from a televised war
Am
G
C
Am
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
C
G
C
"If we walk away, they'll walk away"
C
G
C
But greed is a bottomless pit
C
G
C
And our freedom's a joke we're just taking a piss
Am
G
C
Am
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
C
G
C
If you're still free start running away
Cause we're coming for you!
C
G
C
I've grown tired of holding this pose
C
G
C
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
Am
G
C
Am
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
C
G
C
Saying "let me walk away, please"
C
G
C
You'll be free child once you have died
C
G
C
From the shackles of language and measurable time
Am
G
C
Am
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
C
G
C
Till then walk away, walk away
C7
Am
G
C
So I'm up at dawn
Am
G
C
Putting on my shoes
F
G
C
Am
I just want to make a clean escape
C
G
C
I'm leaving but I don't know where to
Am
G
C
I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to
