D# A# D#
If you walk away, I'll walk away
D# A# D#
First tell me which road you will take
Cm A# D# Cm
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
D# A# D#
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way
D# A# D#
And the future hangs over our heads
D# A# D#
And it moves with each current event
Cm A# D# Cm
Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
D# A# D#
Just stay in when it's looking this way
D# A# D#
And the moon's laying low in the sky
D# A# D#
Forcing everything metal to shine
Cm A# D# Cm
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
D# A# D#
They argue walk this way, now walk this way
D# A# D#
And Laura's asleep in my bed
D# A# D#
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says
Cm A# D# Cm
"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
D# A# D#
Baby don't go away, come here"
D# A# D#
And there's kids playing guns in the street
D# A# D#
And ones pointing his tree branch at me
Cm A# D# Cm
So I put my hands up I say "enough is enough,
D# A# D# D#7
If you walk away, I'll walk away".....and he shot me dead
Cm A# D#
I found a liquid cure
Cm A# D#
From my landlocked blues
G# A# D# Cm
It'll pass away like a slow parade
D# A# D#
It's leaving but I don't know how soon
D# A# D#
And the world's got me dizzy again
D# A# D#
You think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
Cm A# D# Cm
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
D# A# D#
So I'm always pacing around or walking away
D# A# D#
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
D# A# D#
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
Cm A# D# Cm
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
D# A# D#
If you love something, give it away
Verse 8
D# A# D#
A good woman will pick you apart
D# A# D#
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
Cm A# D# Cm
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
D# A# D#
But don't walk away, don't walk away
D# A# D#
We made love on the living room floor
D# A# D#
With the noise in the background of a televised war
Cm A# D# Cm
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
D# A# D#
"If we walk away, they'll walk away"
D# A# D#
But greed is a bottomless pit
D# A# D#
And our freedom's a joke we're just taking a piss
Cm A# D# Cm
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
D# A# D#
If you're still free start running away....Cause we're coming for you!
Break
D# A# D#
I've grown tired of holding this post
D# A# D#
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
Cm A# D# Cm
So I'm making a deal with the devils of faith
D# A# D#
Saying "let me walk away, please"
D# A# D#
You'll be free child once you have died
D# A# D#
From the shackles of language and immeasurable time
Cm A# D# Cm
And then we can trade places, play musical grace
D# A# D#
Till then walk away, walk away
Cm A# D#
So I'm up at dawn
Cm A# D#
Putting on my shoes
G# A# D# Cm
I just want to make a clean escape
Cm A# D#
I'm leaving but I don't know where to...
Cm A# D# A# D#
I'm leaving but I don't know where to..........
