 C            Am/G           C
If you walk away, I'll walk away
    C          Am/G             C
First tell me which road you will take
  Am       Am/G           C          Am
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
   C               Am/G             C
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way

       C         Am/G      C
And the future hangs over our heads
      C            Am/G      C
And it moves with each current event
  Am        Am/G          C         Am
Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
    C            Am/G         C
Just stay in when it's looking this way

        C          Am/G        C
And the moon's laying low in the sky
       C        Am/G      C
Forcing everything metal to shine
       Am          Am/G             C           Am
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
      C                Am/G          C
They argue walk this way, no walk this way

     C        Am/G        C
And Laura's asleep in my bed
       C          Am/G         C
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says
    Am           Am/G               C      Am
I dreamed you were carried away ,on the crest of a wave
    C            Am/G        C
Baby don't go away, come here"

         C          Am/G        C
And there's kids playing guns in the street
        C         Am/G           C
And ones pointing his tree branch at me
     Am        Am/G       C            Am
So I put my hands up, I say "enough is enough,
   C           Am/G            C
If you walk away, I'll walk away"
And he shot me dead

Am     Am/G   C
I found a liquid cure
Am     Am/G        C
From my landlocked blues
    F   Am/G        C    Am
It'll pass away like a slow parade
    C        Am/G           C
It's leaving but I don't know how soon


       C        Am/G        C
And the world's got me dizzy again
     C          Am/G        C
You think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
    Am       Am/G          C        Am
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
              C          Am/G        C
So I'm always pacing around or walking away

      C        Am/G          C
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
        C       Am/G           C
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
     Am    Am/G          C        Am
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
     C           Am/G        C
If you love something, give it away

      C          Am/G        C
A good woman will pick you a par
      C       Am/G            C
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
       Am    Am/G          C        Am
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
    C            Am/G            C
But don't walk away, don't walk away

        C        Am/G        C
We made love on the living room floor
         C       G            C
With the noise in the background of a televised war
          Am    Am/G               C        Am
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
   C           Am/G              C
"If we walk away, they'll walk away"

    C      Am/G        C
But greed is a bottomless pit
       C         Am/G           C
And our freedom's a joke we're just taking the piss
       Am        Am/G             C        Am
And the whole world must watch this sad comic display
    C        Am/G           C
If you're still free start running away

Cause we're coming for you!

Instrumental trumpet bit (keep up the chord progression
         C      G        C
I've grown tired of holding this pose
     C         G          C
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
    Am    G       C     Am
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
    C        G    C
Saying "let me walk away, please"

         C      G            C
You'll be free child once you have died
        C        G           C
From the shackles of language and immeasurable time
       Am    G             C      Am
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
    C           G        C
Till then walk away, walk away

Am     G   C
So I'm up at dawn
Am     G   C
Putting on my shoes
    F      G     C    Am
I just want to make a clean escape
Am     G   C
I'm leaving but I don't know where to
Am     G   C
I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to
