like a jewelry store case

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

And Laura's asleep in my bed

on the crest of a wave

Baby, don't go away, come here"

if you walk away I walk away"

G
C
And the world's got me dizzy again
G
You'd think after twenty-two years,

And it only feels worse
C

when I stay in one place
C
G
C
So I'm always pacing around or walking away

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

We made love on the living room floor

I thought I heard someone say
C
G

If we walk away, they'll walk away

If you're still free, start runnin' away

'Cause we're comin' for ya

play musical graves
