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