DO
If you walk away I’ll walk away
DO SOL DO
First tell me which you road you will take
LAm SOL DO LAm
I don’t wanna risk our paths crossing some day
DO SOL DO
So you walk that way I’ll walk this way
DO SOL DO
The future hangs over our heads
DO SOL DO
And it moves with each current event
LAm SOL
Until it falls all around us
DO LAm
Like a cold steady rain
DO SOL DO
Just stay in when it’s looking this way
DO SOL DO
The moon’s laying low in the sky
DO SOL DO
Forcing everything meadow to shine
LAm SOL DO LAm
And the sidewalk hold diamonds like a jewellery store case
DO SOL DO
They argue ‘walk this way, no walk this way’
DO SOL DO
Laura’s asleep in my bed
DO SOL DO
As I’m leaving she wakes up and says
LAm SOL DO LAm
‘I dreamed you were taken away on the crest of a wave
DO SOL DO
Baby don’t go away come here’
DO SOL DO
And there’s kids playing guns in the street
DO SOL DO
And one’s pointing his tree branch at me
LAm SOL DO LAm
So I put my hands up, and say ‘enough is enough,
DO SOL DO
If you walk away I’ll walk away’ (and then he shot me dead)
DO SOL DO
I found a liquid cure
SOL DO
For my land love blues
FA SOL DO LAm
And we’d pass away, like a slow parade
DO SOL DO
It’s leaving but I don’t know how soon
DO SOL DO
The world’s got me dizzy again
DO SOL DO
You’d think after 22 years I’d be used to the spin
LAm SOL DO LAm
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
DO SOL DO
So I’m always pacing around or walking away
DO SOL DO
I drinking the ink from my pen
DO SOL DO
And I’m balancing history books up on my head
LAm SOL DO LAm
And it all boils down to one quotable phrase:
DO SOL DO
‘If you love something give it away’
DO SOL DO
A good woman will pick you apart
DO SOL DO
A box full of suggestions for a possible heart
LAm SOL DO LAm
And you may be offended and you may be afraid
DO SOL DO
But don’t walk away don’t walk away
DO SOL DO
We made love on the living room floor
DO SOL DO
With the noise in the background from the televised war
LAm SOL DO LAm
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
DO SOL DO
If we walk away they’ll walk away
DO SOL DO
But greed is a bottomless pit
DO SOL DO
And our freedom’s a joke we’re just taking the piss
LAm SOL DO LAm
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
DO SOL DO
If you’re still free start running away
(cos they’ll come for you!)
DO SOL DO
I’ve grown tired of holding this pose
DO SOL DO
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
LAm SOL DO LAm
So I’m making a deal with the devil’s of fame
DO SOL DO
Saying ‘let me walk away, please’
DO SOL DO
‘you’ll be free child once you have died
DO SOL DO
from the shackles of language and measurable tide
LAm SOL DO LAm
And then we can trade places, play musical grace
DO SOL DO
Tell me ‘walk away walk away walk away’’
DO SOL DO DO SOL DO
So I’m up at dawn, putting on my shoes
FA SOL DO LAm
I just wanna make, a clean escape
DO SOL DO
I’m leaving but I don’t know where to
DO SOL DO
I’m leaving but I don’t know where to
