[D]
[Gm] No need to [Eb] clap, believe me.
Zero need to clap.
But, [A] uh, sorry about that.
That was a little obscene.
[Gm] [Ebm] Um, zero need to clap for [N] that.
[Ab] But, uh, that's [N] where we come from, and [Gb] this song is about that [Abm] place.
Oh, [E] [Gb] no, man.
[G] You should go there before [Gb] you say that.
[Abm] Truly depressing.
[N]
I'm sorry.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
[Ab] I imagine it's a bit like [Bb] Leeds.
You know, I imagine it's a bit [Eb] like Leeds.
[Db]
Kind of the middle of fucking [B] nowhere.
I don't know.
I don't actually know [Ab] enough about, uh, [Gb] you know, the [E] United Kingdom to really speak to it.
But I feel like Leeds is kind of in the middle of fucking nowhere.
[C] Just in this moment [N] in our lives.
Maybe I'm wrong.
I don't know.
Poor Shafir.
I don't know.
I get kind of all blurs.
[Eb] I [Gb]
know the north is Newcastle.
I know the south is [Ab] Brighton.
I know the [N] monument's in the middle.
And then all the other shit, I don't really know.
It's just there.
Somewhere there.
We go to all the places.
You ever been to fucking, uh, what's it called?
Texas?
[Ab]
[C] I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
[Bb] Yikes.
[N] Don't get out of your car.
[Dm] [Ab]
[N]
I'm more of a whale than myself.
I thought I was more of a whale.
Truly, sorry.
[Eb]
[Ab] You know I'm not [Gbm] mad.
[Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Eb]
If you walk away, I'll walk home.
First tell me which road you'll take.
[Cm] I don't want to [Bb] risk our [Ab] paths crossing one day.
So if you walk that [Gb] way, I'll walk [Ab] this way.
The future [Eb] hangs over our head.
[Ab]
[E] It moves [Gm] with each current [Eb] event.
Till [Cm] it falls all [Bb] around
[Ab] in a [Dm] cold [Cm] steady rain.
[Ebm] Just stay in if it's looking [Eb] this way.
[Ab]
And the moon's laying [Eb] low in the [Abm] sky.
[Eb]
Forcing everything [Bb] metal to shine.
[Ab]
And [Cm] the sidewalk [Bb] holds diamonds like [Abm] a jewelry store [C] case.
They [E] argue, walk [Eb] this way, no, walk this way.
[Abm] And Laura, [Bb] she's [Eb] asleep in my bed.
As I'm leaving, she wakes up and says.
[Ab]
I [A] dreamed you [C] were carried [Bb] away [Abm] on the crest [C] of a wave.
[Abm] Baby, don't go [Bb] away.
[Ab] [Eb]
And there's kids playing guns in our street.
[N] One keeps pointing [Gm] his tree branch [Eb] at me.
And [Cm] so I put my hands [Bb] up.
I [Ab] say enough is enough.
Hey, if you walk [Eb] away, I'll walk away.
[Ab] And that little fucker shot me [Eb] dead.
[Cm] [Bb] I know they're quick, [Eb] yeah.
[Cm] So [Bb] I put my hand in hot [Eb] glue.
It will [Ab] pass [Bb] away in a [Eb] slow [Cm] parade.
It's [Eb] leaving, I [Bb] just don't know how [Eb] soon.
This
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] [Bb]
[Eb] [Cm]
[Eb]
world's got [Bb] me dizzy [Eb] again.
You think after growing so [Bb] old, I'd [Eb] get used to the spin.
But it [Cm] only [Bb] feels worse when [Eb] I'm stuck in one [Cm] place.
So [Eb] I'm always pacing [Bb] around or driving [Eb] away.
I keep drinking [Bb] the ink [Eb] from my pen.
Violence in [Bb] history books [Eb] up on my head.
But [Cm] it all [Bb] boils down to [Eb] one quotable [Cm] phrase.
If [Eb] you love [Bb] something, give it [Eb] away.
A good woman, [Bb] she will pick you [Eb] apart.
A box full of [Bb] suggestions for [Eb] my possible heart.
[C] And you may be [Bb] offended.
[Eb] I know I [Cm] was afraid.
[Eb] But don't walk [Gm] away, man, [Eb] don't walk away.
We made love [Bb] on the living [Eb] room floor.
With the noise in [Bb] the background from [Eb] the televised war.
[Cm] In that [G] deafening [Bb] pleasure, I swear [Eb] I heard someone [C] say.
[Eb] Man, if we walk away, I [Bb] bet they'll [Eb] walk away.
But you see, [F] greed, [Bb] it's a
[Abm] bottomless [Eb] pit.
And our freedom's a [Bb] joke, we're just [Eb]
taking a piss.
And now [Cm] the whole world must [Bb] watch a [Eb] sad comic [C] display.
If you're [Ebm] still free, [Bb] start running away.
[Eb] They're all coming for you.
[Gm]
[Eb] [Cm]

[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] I get so [Ab] tired [C] of holding [A] this pose.
I feel more like a [Bb] stranger [Ab]
every [Eb] time I get home.
So [Cm] I'm making a [Bb] deal [Eb] with the [Cm] devils of fame.
[Eb] Saying, give me [Bb] the money, give me [Eb] all the money.
You'll be free, honey, [Bb] once you [Eb] have died.
Shackles [Bb] of language, [Eb] immeasurable time.
And [Cm] we will [Bb] take places [Eb] like musical [Cm] grades.
[Eb] [Bb] Walk away, walk [Eb] away, walk away.
[Cm]
So [Bb] I'm up at [Eb] dawn,
[Cm] [Bb] putting on my [Eb] shoes.
I just [Ab] got a [Bb]
[Eb] clean [Cm] escape.
[Eb] I'm leaving, [Bb] I just don't know [Eb] where to.
Yes, I have [Ab] got [Bb] to make a [Ab] clean escape.

With the noise in [Bb] the background from [Eb] the televised war.
[Cm] In that [G] deafening [Bb] pleasure, I swear [Eb] I heard someone [C] say.
_ [Eb] Man, if we walk away, I [Bb] bet they'll [Eb] walk away.
_ _ But you see, [F] greed, [Bb] it's a _
_ [Abm] bottomless [Eb] pit. _
_ _ _ And our freedom's a [Bb] joke, we're just [Eb]
taking a piss.
_ And now [Cm] the whole world must [Bb] watch a [Eb] sad comic _ [C] display.
If you're [Ebm] still free, [Bb] start running away.
[Eb] They're all coming for you. _

[Eb] _ _ _ _ I get so [Ab] tired [C] of holding [A] this pose.
_ _ I feel more like a [Bb] stranger _ [Ab]
every [Eb] time I get home.
So [Cm] I'm making a [Bb] deal _ [Eb] with the [Cm] devils of fame.
[Eb] Saying, give me [Bb] the money, give me [Eb] all the money. _ _ _
You'll be free, honey, [Bb] once you [Eb] have died. _ _ _
_ Shackles [Bb] of language, [Eb] _ immeasurable time.
And [Cm] we will [Bb] take places [Eb] like musical [Cm] grades. _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] Walk away, walk [Eb] away, walk away.
_ _ [Cm] _
_ So [Bb] I'm up at [Eb] dawn, _ _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [Bb] putting on my [Eb] shoes.
_ _ I just [Ab] got a [Bb] _ _ _
[Eb] clean [Cm] escape. _
[Eb] I'm leaving, [Bb] I just don't know [Eb] where to. _ _ _ _
Yes, I have [Ab] got [Bb] to make a [Ab] clean escape.
_ _ I'm leaving, _ [E] [Eb] I just don't know where to. _ _ _ _ _
