Franz Ferdinand is a Scottish rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, in 2002 and played an important part in the post-punk revival of the 2000s. The band was composed of Alex Kapranos (lead vocals and guitar), Bob Hardy (bass guitar), Nick McCarthy (rhythm guitar, keyboards and backing vocals) and Paul Thomson (drums, percussion and backing vocals) until 2016 when McCarthy left them. The next year Julian Corrie (keyboards, synthesiser, guitar and backing vocals) and Dino Bardot (guitar and backing vocals) joined the band.

[Verse] C I swapped my innocence for pride G Crushed the end within my stride AmEm Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver CGAmF I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away CGF Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh CG And I am cold, yes, I'm cold Em But not as cold as you are CGAmF I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away CGAmFEm I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, yeah hey
[Chorus] G Why don't you walk away? G Why don't you walk away? G# Why don't you walk away? Cm No buildings will fall down G# Don't you walk away Cm No quake will split the ground G# Won't you walk away Cm The sun won't swallow the sky Fm Won't you walk away? Cm Statues will not cry G# Don't you walk away Cm Why don't you walk away? G Why don't you walk away? Bb Why don't you walk away? FG Hey
[Instrumental] GFAmE GFAmE
[Verse] C I cannot turn to see those eyes G As apologies may rise AmEm I must be strong and stay an unbeliever CGAmF And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away CGF Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh CG And I'm not cold, I am old Em At least as old as you are
[Chorus] G And as you walk away G Oh, as you walk away G# Oh, as you walk away Cm My headstone crumbles down G# As you walk away Cm The Hollywood winds will howl G# As you walk away Cm The Kremlin's falling Fm As you walk away Cm Radio Four is static G# As you walk away Cm Oh, as you walk away G Oh, as you walk away Bb Oh, as you walk away FG Hey
[Outro] GF The stab of stiletto AmEm On a silent night G Stalin smiles F Hitler laughs Am Churchill claps Em Mao Tse Tung on the back
