Bright Eyes - Land Locked Blues chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb] If you walk away, I'll walk away
First tell me [Bb] which road you [Eb] will take
I
[Cm] don't [Gm] wanna risk our paths [Cm] crossing someday
So [Eb] you walk that [Bb] way, I'll walk [Eb] this way
And the future [Bb] hangs over [Eb] our heads
And it moves with each current event
Until [Cm] it falls all [Bb] around [Eb] like a cold steady [C] rain
[Eb] Just stayin' when [Bb] it's lookin' [Eb] this way
And the moon's [Bb] layin' low in the [Eb] sky
Forcin' everything [Bb] metal to [Eb] shine
And [Cm] the sidewalk [Bb] holds diamonds like [Cm] a jewelry store case
[Ebm] They argue, walk this way, [Bb] no, [Eb] walk this way
And Laura's [Bb]
asleep [Eb] in my bed
As I'm leavin' she [Bb]
wakes up [Eb] and says
I dreamed you [Cm] were carried [Gm] away on [Eb] the crest of [Cm] a wave
Baby [Eb] don't go [Bb] away, come here
[Eb]
And this kid's playin' guns in the street
And one's pointing his [Bb] tree branch at [Eb] me
[Cm] And so I put my [Bb]
hands up, [Eb] I say enough is [Cm] enough
[Eb] If you walk away, [Bb] I'll walk away
[Eb] And he shot me dead
[Cm] I [Bb] found a liquid [Eb] cure from [Cm]
[Bb] my landlocked [Eb] blues
It will [Ab] [Bb] pass away [Eb] like a slow [Cm]
parade
[Eb] It's leavin' [Bb] but I don't know [Eb] how soon
And
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm]
[Gm] [Eb]
[Cm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
the world's got [Bb] me dizzy [Eb] again
You'd think after 22 [Bb] years [Eb] I'd be used to the spin
[Bb] And [Cm] it only feels [Bb] worse when I [Eb]
stay in one [Cm] place
So I'm [Eb] always pacin' around [Bb] or [Eb] walkin' away
And I keep drinkin' [Bb] the ink from [Eb] my pen
And I'm [Bb] balancin' history [Eb] books up on my head
But [Cm] it all [Bb] boils down to [Eb] one quotable [Cm] phrase
If [Eb] you love somethin' [Bb] give it away
[Eb]
A good woman [Bb] will pick you [Eb]
apart
A box full of [Bb] suggestions [Eb] for your possible heart
[Cm] But you may be [Bb] offended [Eb] and you may be [Cm] afraid
[Eb]
Don't walk [Bb] away, don't walk [Eb] away
We made love on [Bb] the living [Eb] room floor
With the noise in [Bb] the background [Eb] from a televised war
[Gm] And [Cm] in that deafening [Bb] pleasure I [Eb] thought I heard someone [Cm] say
[Eb] If we walk [Bb] away, they'll walk [Eb] away
But greed is [Bb] a [Eb] bottomless pit
And our freedom's [Bb] a joke, we're [Eb] just takin' a piss
And [Cm] the whole world must [Bb] watch the sad [Eb]
comic [Cm] display
If [Eb] you're still free, start [Bb] runnin' away
[Eb]
Cause we're comin' for ya
[Bb] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
I've grown tired [Bb] of holdin' this [Eb]
pose
I feel more like [Bb] a stranger [Eb] each time I come home
So [C] I'm makin' [Bb] a deal with [Eb] the devils [Cm] of fame
[Eb] Sayin' let me walk [Bb] away, [Eb]
please
You'll be free, [Bb] child, once you [Eb] have died
From the [Bb] shackles of language [Eb]
and measurable time
[Cm] And then we can [Bb] trade places, [Eb] play [Cm] musical graves
[Eb] Tell them walk away, [Bb] walk away, [Eb] walk away, walk away
[Cm]
So [Bb] I'm out back, [Eb]
putting [Cm]
[Bb] on [Eb] my shoes
[Cm] I just [Bb] wanna make [Eb] a clean [Cm] escape
I'm leaving [Bb] but I don't know [Eb] where to
I [Cm] know I'm leaving but [Bb] I don't know where [Eb] to
