E E7 A
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
E B
Than to face the truth and realize that you're leaving me
E A
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall
E E7 B7
And life without your love just isn't life at all
E A
So walk out backwards if you must go
B
But please don't wave goodbye
E
Just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much
A
If I can just pretend
A Bb B
So walk out backwards
E
And I'll think you're walking in
E E7 A
Well, you walked into my heart in search of sympathy
E B
And from that day down to this, you've walked all over me
E A
And now you're walking out to love some body new
E B7
But you're not by yourself, cause my heart's leaving, too
E A
So walk out backwards if you must go
B
But please don't wave goodbye
E
Just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much
A
If I can just pretend
A Bb B
So walk out backwards
E
And I'll think you're walking in
A Bb B
So walk out backwards
E
And I'll think you're walking in
