Walk Out Backwards
Walk Out Backwards
written and recorded by Bill Anderson
G C
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
G D7
Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me
G G7 C
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall
G D7 G
And life without your love just isn't life at all
C
So walk out backwards if you must go
D7
But please don't wave goodbye
G
Just wave one last hello
C
The truth won't hurt so much if I can just pretend
D7
So walk out backwards
G
And I'll think you're walking in
C
Well you walked into my heart in search of sympathy
G
And from that day down to this
D7
You've walked all over me
G G7 C
And now you're walking out to love somebody new
G D7
But you're not by yourself
G
Cause my heart's leaving too
