Verse 1
If (C major) you walk away I (G major) walk away (C major)
First tell me which road (G major) you will take (C major)
I (A minor) don't want to risk (G major)
our paths (C major) crossing someday (A minor)
So you (C major) walk that way I'll (G major) walk this way (C major)
Verse 2
And the fu (C major) ture hangs (G major) over our heads (C major)
And it moves with each cur (G major) rent event (C major)

Just stay (C major) in when it's look (G major) in' this way (C major)

Verse 3
And the (C major) moon's laying low (G major) in the sky (C major)
Forcing everything met (G major) al to shine (C major)
And the side (A minor) walk holds dia (G major) monds
like a (C major) jewelry store case (A minor)
They argue (C major) "Walk this way", "No, (G major) walk this way" (C major)
Verse 4
And Lau (C major) ra's asleep (G major) in my bed (C major)
As I'm leaving she wakes (G major) up and says (C major)

on the crest (C major) of a wave (A minor)
Baby, (C major) don't go away, (G major) come here" (C major)
Verse 5
And there's kids (C major) playing guns (G major) in the street (C major)
And one's pointing his tree (G major) branch at me (C major)
So I (A minor) put my hands up (G major) I say
"E (C major) nough is e (A minor) nough,
if you (C major) walk away I (G major) walk away"
(C major) (And he shot me dead) (C7)
Chorus 1
(A minor) I found a (G major) liquid cure (C major)
(A minor) For my land (G major) locked blues (C major)
It will pass (F minoraj7) away (G major) like a (C major) slow parade (A minor)
It's leav (C major) ing but I don't (G major) know how soon (C major)

(C major) (G major) (C major)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
(A minor) (G major) (C major) (A minor)
(C major) (G major) (C major)
Verse 6
And the world's (C major) got me diz (G major) zy again (C major)
You'd think after twenty-two years, (G major)
I'd be used (C major) to the spin
And it on (A minor) ly feels worse (G major)
when I stay (C major) in one place (A minor)
So I'm always (C major) pacing around or (G major) walking away (C major)
Verse 7
I keep drink (C major) ing the ink (G major) from my pen (C major)
And I'm balancing his (G major) tory books
up (C major) on my head
But it all (A minor) boils down (G major) to one quot (C major) able phrase: (A minor)
"If you love (C major) something give (G major) it away" (C major)
Verse 8
A good (C major) woman will pick (G major) you apart (C major)
A box full of sugges (G major) tions
for your (C major) possible heart
But you may (A minor) be offended (G major)
and you (C major) may be afraid (A minor)
But don't (C major) walk away, don't (G major) walk away (C major)
Verse 9
We made (C major) love on the liv (G major) ing room floor (C major)
With the noise in the background (G major)
from a (C major) televised war
And in the (A minor) deafening pleas (G major) ure,
I thought I (C major) heard someone say (A minor)
If we (C major) walk away, they'll (G major) walk away (C major)
Verse 10
But greed (C major) is a bot (G major) tomless pit (C major)
And our freedom's a joke (G major)
we're just tak (C major) ing a piss
And the whole (A minor) world must watch (G major)
the sad com (C major) ic display (A minor)
If you're still (C major) free, start run (G major) nin' away
(C major) 'Cause we're comin' for ya

Verse 11
I've grown (C major) tired of hold (G major) ing this pose (C major)
I feel more like a stranger (G major)
each time (C major) I come home
So I'm (A minor) making a deal (G major) with the dev (C major) ils of fame (A minor)
Sayin' let me (C major) walk away, (G major) please (C major)
Verse 12
You'll be (C major) free, child, once (G major) you have died (C major)
From the shackles of language (G major)
and (C major) measurable time
And then we (A minor) can trade plac (G major) es,
play (C major) musical graves (A minor)
Till then (C major) walk away, walk a (G major) way,
walk away, (C major) walk away (C7)
Chorus 2
(A minor) So I'm up (G major) at dawn, (C major)
(A minor) putting on (G major) my shoes (C major)
I just (F minoraj7) want to make (G major) a clean (C major) escape (A minor)
I'm leav (C major) ing but I don't (G major) know where to (C major)
I know I'm (A minor) leaving but I don't (G major) know where to (C major)
