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