Introdução:
C G C
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
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
