[Verse]
C G7 C
If you walk away, I'll walk away
C G7 C
First tell me which road you will take
Am G C Am
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
C G7 C
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way
C G7 C
And the future it hangs over our heads
C G7 C
And it moves with each current event
Am G C Am
Till it falls all around like a cold steady rain
C G7 C
Just stay in when it's looking this way
C G7 C
And the moon's she's laying low in the sky
C G7 C
It's forcing everything metal to shine
Am G C Am
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
C G7 C
They argue walk this way, no, walk this way
C G7 C
And Laura's she's asleep in my bed
C G7 C
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says
Am G C C Am
"I dreamed you were carried (away) on the crest of a wave
C G7 C
Baby don't go away, please, come here"
C G7 C
And there's kids playing guns in our street
C G7 C
One keeps pointing his tree branch at me
Am G C Am
So I put my hands up I say "enough is enough,
C G7 C
Man, If you walk away, I'll walk away"
(And that little f**ker shot me dead)
[Chorus]
C7
Am G C
I found a liquid cure
Am G C
For my landlocked blues
F G C Am
It will pass away in a slow parade
C G C
It's leaving I just dont know how soon
[Bridge]
C G C C C G C C Am G C Am C G C C
C G7 C
And the world's got me dizzy again
C G7 C
You think after growin' so old I'd be used to the spin
Am G C Am
But it only feels worse when I'm stuck in one place
C G7 C
So I just keep pacin' around or driving away
C G7 C
And I've been drinking the ink from my pen
C G7 C
And I've been balancing history books up on my head
Am G C Am
But they all boil down to one quotable phrase
C G7 C
If you love something, give it away
C G7 C
A good woman will pick you apart
C G7 C
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
Am G C Am
And you may be offended, I know I was afraid
C G7 C
But don't walk away, don't walk away
C G7 C
We made love on the living room floor
C G7 C
With the noise in the background from a televised war
Am G C Am
In that deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
C G7 C
"If we walk away, I'll bet they'll walk away"
C G7 C
But you see greed is a bottomless pit
C G7 C
And our freedom's a joke now, We're just taking a p**s
Am G C Am
And the whole world must watch the sad comic display
C G7 C
If you're still free start running away
(Cause we're coming for ya')
[Bridge]
C G C C C G C C Am G C Am C G C C
C G7 C
I've get so tired of holding this pose
C G7 C
I feel more like a stranger every time I get home
Am G C Am
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
C G7 C
Saying "Show me the money, show me the money"
C G7 C
You'll be free honey once you have died
C G7 C
From the shackles of language and measurable time
Am G C Am
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
C G7 C
Till then walk away, walk away, walk away
[Chorus]
C7
Am G C
So I'm up at dawn
Am G C
Putting on my shoes
F G C Am
I just got to make a clean escape
C 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
