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 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
