If [C]you walk away, I[G]'ll walk a[C]way
First te[C]ll me which r[G]oad you will [C]take

So yo[C]u walk that way, I'll [G]walk this way[C]

[VERSE 2]

And the fu[C]ture hangs [G]over our hea[C]ds
And it move[C]s with each c[G]urrent eve[C]nt
Unti[Am]l it falls all a[G]round like a cold[C] steady [Am]rain
Just st[C]ay in when it's l[G]ooking this w[C]ay

[VERSE 3]

And the mo[C]on's laying [G]low in the s[C]ky
Forcing every[C]thing [G]metal to shi[C]ne
And the sidewa[Am]lk holds diamo[G]nds like the jewe[C]lry store c[Am]ase
They argue [C]walk this way, now[G] walk this [C]way

[VERSE 4]

And Laura[C]'s asle[G]ep in my [C]bed
As I'm leav[C]ing she [G]wakes up and s[C]ays
"I drea[Am]med you were ca[G]rried away on the [C]crest of a wa[Am]ve
Baby don[C]'t go away[G] , come here"[C]

[VERSE 5]

And there's [C]kids playing [G]guns in the stre[C]et
And ones pointi[C]ng his t[G]ree branch at [C]me
So I p[Am]ut my hands [G]up I say "enou[C]gh is enou[Am]gh,
If yo[C]u walk away,[G] I'll walk away"[C] .....and he shot me[C7] dead

[BRIDGE 1]

[Am]I found a li[G]quid cu[C]re
[Am]From my l[G]andlocked blu[C]es
It'll pa[F]ss a[G]way like a [C]slow par[Am]ade
It's le[C]aving but I do[G]n't know how [C]soon

[VERSE 6]

And the w[C]orld's got me [G]dizzy ag[C]ain
You think after 22 [C]years I'd be [G]used to the s[C]pin
And it [Am]only feels w[G]orse when I s[C]tay in one p[Am]lace
So I'm always pa[C]cing around or [G]walking awa[C]y

[VERSE 7]

I keep drin[C]king the [G]ink from my [C]pen
And I'm balan[C]cing history[G] books up on my h[C]ead
But it a[Am]ll boils do[G]wn to one [C]quotable p[Am]hrase
If you l[C]ove something, [G]give it a[C]way

[VERSE 8]

A good w[C]oman will [G]pick you a[C]part
A box ful[C]l of suggestions for your [G]possible h[C]eart
But you ma[Am]y be offe[G]nded and you [C]may be a[Am]fraid
But d[C]on't walk away, [G]don't walk [C]away

[VERSE 9]

We made l[C]ove on the [G]living room f[C]loor
With the [C]noise in the background of a t[G]elevised [C]war
And in the de[Am]afening p[G]leasure I thought I [C]heard someone [Am]say
"If [C]we walk away, t[G]hey'll walk [C]away"

[VERSE 10]

But gr[C]eed is a b[G]ottomless [C]pit
And our fr[C]eedom's a joke we're just [G]taking a [C]piss
And the whole [Am]world must [G]watch the sad [C]comic disp[Am]lay
If you're [C]still free [G]start running a[C]way....Cause we're coming for you!

[BREAK]

[VERSE 11]

I've grown [C]tired of hold[G]ing this p[C]ost
I feel m[C]ore like a stranger each [G]time I come [C]home
So I'm [Am]making a [G]deal with the [C]devils of [Am]faith
Saying "[C]let me walk [G]away, pl[C]ease"

[VERSE 12]

You'll be [C]free child on[G]ce you have [C]died
From the shac[C]kles of language and i[G]mmeasurable [C]time
And then we c[Am]an trade p[G]laces, play [C]musical gr[Am]ace
Till th[C]en walk away, [G]walk [C]away

[BRIDGE 2]

[Am]So I'm up[G] at daw[C]n
[Am]Putting on [G]my shoe[C]s
I just w[F]ant to [G]make a c[C]lean esc[Am]ape
I'm l[Am]eaving but I d[G]on't know where t[C]o...
I'm l[Am]eaving but I d[G]on't know where t[C]o...[G] ...[C] ....
