| Capo on 3 |
| C | G | C | |
| If y | ou walk away, I'll walk | away |
| C | G | C | |
| First te | ll me which road you | will take |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| I do | n't want to risk | our paths crossing so | me day |
| C | G | C | |
| So yo | u walk that way, I'll walk thi | s way |
| C | G | C | |
| And the future | hangs over our hea | ds |
| C | G | C | |
| And it move | s with each current event |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| Unti | l it falls all ar | ound like a cold ste | ady rain |
| C | G | C | |
| Just st | ay in when it's looking t | his way |
| C | G | C | |
| And the moon's | laying low in the sk | y |
| C | G | C | |
| Forcing every | thing metal to sh | ine |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| And the sidewa | lk holds diamonds lik | e the jewelry store case |
| C | G | C | |
| They argue | walk this way, now walk this way |
| C | G | C | |
| And Laura | 's asleep in my | bed |
| C | G | C | |
| As I'm leavin | g she wakes up and s | ays |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| "I drea | med you were carried aw | ay on the crest of a wave |
| C | G | C | |
| Baby don | 't go away, come here" |
| C | G | C | |
| And there's kids p | laying guns in the st | reet |
| C | G | C | |
| And ones pointi | ng his tree branch | at me |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| So I put | my hands up I say | "enough is eno | ugh, |
| C | G | C | |
| If yo | u walk away, I'll walk | away" |
| And he shot me dead |
| Am | G | C | |
| I found a li | quid cu | re |
| Am | G | C | |
| From my land | locked blues |
| F | G | C | Am | |
| It'll pa | ss awa | y like a slow par | ade |
| C | G | C | |
| It's le | aving but I don' | t know how soon |
| C | G | C | |
| And the world | 's got me dizzy a | gain |
| C | G | C | |
| You think after 22 years I'd | be used to the spin |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| And it | only feels worse | when I stay in one p | lace |
| C | G | C | |
| So I'm always pacing around | or walking away |
| C | G | C | |
| I keep drink | ing the ink from | my pen |
| C | G | C | |
| And I'm balanci | ng history boo | ks up on my head |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| But it all | boils dow | n to one quotable ph | rase |
| C | G | C | |
| If you lov | e something, give it aw | ay |
| C | G | C | |
| A good woman | will pick you apart |
| C | G | C | |
| A box full | of suggestions | for your possible heart |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| But you may b | e offended | and you may be afra | id |
| C | G | C | |
| But don | 't walk away, don't walk | away |
| C | G | C | |
| We made love on | the living room f | loor |
| C | G | C | |
| With the noise in | the background | of a televised war |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| And in the deafening | pleasure | I thought I heard someone say |
| C | G | C | |
| "If we | walk away, they'll wa | lk away" |
| C | G | C | |
| But gree | d is a bottom | less pit |
| C | G | C | |
| And our freedo | m's a joke we're j | ust taking a piss |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| And the whole | world must watch | the sad comic display |
| C | G | C | |
| If you'r | e still free star | t running away |
| Cause we're coming for you! |
| C | G | C | |
| I've grown tired o | f holding thi | s post |
| C | G | C | |
| I feel mor | e like a stranger | each time I come hom | e |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| So I'm | making a | deal with the | devils of | faith |
| C | G | C | |
| Saying " | let me walk away, | please" |
| C | G | C | |
| You'll be free ch | ild once you | have died |
| C | G | C | |
| From the shackle | s of language and | immeasurable time |
| Am | G | C | Am | |
| And then we c | an trade p | laces, play musical grace |
| C | G | C | |
| Till the | n walk away, walk away |
| Am | G | C | |
| So I'm up at | dawn |
| Am | G | C | |
| Putting on m | y shoes |
| F | G | C | Am | |
| I just w | ant to make | a clean esc | ape |
| Am | G | C | |
| I'm leaving | but I d | on't know where to |
| I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to |
