Walking Backwards - Sam Tsui

[VERSE 1]
C
Watching the ground,
C9
I swear I've seen these streets before,
C
I gotta turn it around
C9
Don't wanna be here anymore
C
Gotta change the way I've been facing,
C9 E Am
Spending all my time retracing old scars
F
So far from where I wanna be
Don't walk with me

[REFRAIN 1]
Dm Am G
Cause I take one step forward and two steps back
Dm
I'm headed the wrong way,
Am G
The wrong way on the right track

[CHORUS 1]
C F
Like I'm walking backwards
C F
Like standing still would be faster
C F
Cause I know disaster is after me
C Am F
But I'll get the last word this chapter, you'll see
C F
If I stop walking backwards

[VERSE 2]
C
Staring ahead
C9
I tell my feet to follow but they're
C
Just reversing instead
C9
Wouldn't you think that I'd know by now
C
This is all too familiar
C9
Who knew deja-vu could kill you
E Am F
Oh no, here I go, it all repeats,
Don't follow me

[REFRAIN 2]
Dm Am G
Cause I take one step forward and two steps back
Dm
I'm headed the wrong way,
Am G
The wrong way on the right track

[CHORUS 2]
C F
Like I'm walking backwards
C F
Like standing still would be faster
C F
Cause I know disaster is after me
C Am F
But I'll get the last word this chapter, you'll see
C F
If I stop walking backwards

[BRIDGE]
Ab Bb
So maybe I'll crash, and maybe I'll burn
Ab
But maybe I'll turn this thing around
Bb
If something can change, and lessons are learned
C Gm C
It isn't too late to make up ground
Bb C C C C
I'm making up ground

[CHORUS 3]
C C C C F
Like I'm walking backwards
C F
Like standing still would be faster
C F
Cause I know disaster is after me
C Am F
But I'll get the last word this chapter, you'll see
C F
If I stop walking backwards, hey
C F
Oooooooh
C F
Cause I know disaster is after me
C Am F
But I'll get the last word this chapter, you'll see
C F
If I stop walking backwards
C
Hmmmmmm
