If you walk away I walk away

First tell me which road you will take

I don't want to risk

our paths crossing someday

So you walk that way I'll walk this way

Verse 2

Just stay in when it's lookin' this way

Verse 3

C

G

C

And the moon's laying low in the sky

G

C

Forcing everything metal to shine

Am

And the sidewalk holds diamonds

C

like a jewelry store case

C

G

C

They argue "Walk this way", "No, walk this way"

Verse 4

C

G

C

And Laura's asleep in my bed

G

C

As I'm leaving she wakes up and says

Am

"I dreamed you were carried away

C

Am

on the crest of a wave

C

G

C

Baby, don't go away, come here"

Verse 5

C

G

C

And there's kids playing guns in the street

G

C

And one's pointing his tree branch at me

Am

G

So I put my hands up I say

C

Am

"Enough is enough,

C

G

if you walk away I walk away"

C

(And he shot me dead)

Chorus 1

Am

G

I found a liquid cure

For my landlocked blues

It will pass away like a slow parade

It's leaving but I don't know how soon

Verse 6

C

G

C

And the world's got me dizzy again

G

You'd think after twenty-two years,

C

I'd be used to the spin

Am

G

And it on ly feels worse

C

Am

when I stay in one place

C

G

C

So I'm always pacing around or walking away

Verse 7

C

G

C

I keep drinking the ink from my pen

G

And I'm balancing history books

C

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"

Verse 8

C

G

C

A good woman will pick you apart

G

A box full of suggestions

C

for your possible heart

Am

G

But you may be offended

C

Am

and you may be afraid

C

G

C

But don't walk away, don't walk away

Verse 9

C

G

C

We made love on the living room floor

G

With the noise in the background

C

from a televised war

Am

G

And in the deafening pleasure,

C

Am

I thought I heard someone say

C

G

C

If we walk away, they'll walk away

Verse 10

C

G

C

But greed is a bottomless pit

G

And our freedom's a joke

C

we're just taking a piss

Am

G

And the whole world must watch

C

Am

the sad comic display

C

G

If you're still free, start runnin' away

C

'Cause we're comin' for ya

So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame

C

G

C

Sayin' let me walk away, please

Verse 12

C

G

C

You'll be free, child, once you have died

G

From the shackles of language

C

and measurable time

Am

And then we can trade places,

C

Am

play musical graves

C

G

Till then walk away, walk away,

C

walk away, walk away

putting on my shoes

I just want to make a clean escape

Best Tuning App Ever
MaddProfessor
“I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.”
Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner
theNewPaul
“This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”
This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
Great to tune and play
Lynae T
“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
