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