[G]She gave it away on [D]good faith when [C]she was 15 years [G]old.

CHORUS
D C G Walk Down
Sometimes life leads you down a road that you don’t choose.
[Em]You try so hard to [C]win but you still [G]loose.
[D]Bottle it all up inside where [C]nothing ever [G]grows.
[C]She built a ten foot [G]wall around what’s [D]left of a [G]rose.
[G]I have always [D]been there when she’s [C]cried a million [G]tears.
[C]But I know why [G]she can’t see that [D]I’ve loved her for years.
[G]In the fertile s[D]oil of my hands I [C]know real love could [G]bloom.
[C]I would give up [G]everything to [D]bathe in her per[G]fume.
