Capo 3

If [C]you walk away, 
I[G]'ll walk awa[C]y
First [C]tell me which 
[G]road you will [C]take
I [Am]don't want to ri[G]sk 
our paths [C]crossing some [Am]day
So you [C]walk that way, 
I'll [G]walk this way[C]

And the f[C]uture hangs [G]over our [C]heads
And it [C]moves with each [G]current [C]event
Until it [Am]falls all a[G]round 
like a [C]cold steady [Am]rain
Just stay [C]in when it's [G]looking this [C]way

And the [C]moon's laying [G]low in the [C]sky
Forcing [C]everything [G]metal to [C]shine
And the [Am]sidewalk holds [G]diamonds 
like the [C]jewelry store [Am]case
They argue [C]walk this way, no,[G] 
walk this way[C]

And [C]Laura's a[G]sleep in my [C]bed
As I'm l[C]eaving she [G]wakes up and [C]says
"I dreamed you were [Am]carried a[G]way 
on the [C]crest of a [Am]wave
Baby [C]don't go away,[G] come here"[C]

And there's [C]kids playing [G]guns in the [C]street
And ones [C]pointing his [G]tree branch at [C]me
So I [Am]put my hands [G]up I say "e[C]nough is e[Am]nough,
If you [C]walk away, I'll [G]walk away"[C]
And he shot me dead[C7]

[Am] I found a [G]liquid [C]cure
[Am] For my l[G]andlocked b[C]lues
It'll [F]pass a[G]way like a [C]slow pa[Am]rade
It's [C]leaving but I [G]don't know how soon[C]

And the [C]world's got me [G]dizzy a[C]gain
You think after [C]22 [G]years 
I'd be [C]used to the spin
And it [Am]only feels [G]worse 
when I [C]stay in one [Am]place
So I'm always [C]pacing around or[G] walking away[C]

I keep [C]drinking the [G]ink from my [C]pen
And I'm [C]balancing hi[G]story 
books up [C]on my head
But it [Am]all boils [G]down to 
one [C]quotable [Am]phrase
If you [C]love something, [G]give it away[C]

A good [C]woman will [G]pick you a[C]part
A box f[C]ull of su[G]ggestions 
for your [C]possible heart
But you [Am]may be off[G]ended 
and you [C]may be af[Am]raid
But don't [C]walk away, don't [G]walk away[C]

We made [C]love on the [G]living room [C]floor
With the [C]noise in the back[G]ground 
from a [C]televised war
And in the d[Am]eafening [G]pleasure 
I thought I [C]heard someone [Am]say
"If we[C] walk away, they'll [G]walk away"[C]

But [C]greed is a [G]bottomless [C]pit
And our [C]freedom's a [G]joke 
we're just [C]taking a piss
And the [Am]whole world must [G]watch 
the sad [C]comic di[Am]splay
If you're [C]still free start [G]running away[C]

Cause we're coming for you!

I've grown [C]tired of [G]holding this [C]pose
I feel [C]more like a [G]stranger 
each [C]time I come home
So I'm [Am]making a [G]deal with 
the [C]devils of [Am]fame
Saying "let me[C] walk away,[G] please"[C]

You'll be [C]free child [G]once you have [C]died
From the [C]shackles of [G]language 
and [C]measurable time
And then [Am]we can trade [G]places, 
play [C]musical [Am]graves
Till then [C]walk away,[G] walk away[C]
[C7]

[Am]So I'm [G]up at [C]dawn
[Am]Putting [G]on my [C]shoes
I just w[F]ant to [G]make a [C]clean es[Am]cape
I'm[C] leaving but I [G]don't know where [C]to
I know I'm [Am]leaving but I [G]don't know where [C]to
