C X32010 Am/G X02213 Am X02210
If[C] you walk away, I'll wal[Am/G]k away[C]
First te[C]ll me which road you[Am/G] will take[C]
I do[Am]n't want to risk[Am/G] our paths crossing some [C]day[Am]
So yo[C]u walk that way, I'll walk thi[Am/G]s way[C]
And the future[C] hangs over our hea[Am/G]ds[C]
And it move[C]s with each current event[Am/G] [C]
Unti[Am]l it falls all ar[Am/G]ound like a cold steady[C] rain[Am]
Just st[C]ay in when it's looking t[Am/G]his way[C]
And the moon's [C]laying low in the sk[Am/G]y[C]
Forcing every[C]thing metal to sh[Am/G]ine[C]
And the sidewa[Am]lk holds diamonds lik[Am/G]e the jewelry store case[C] [Am]
They argue [C]walk this way, no walk this way[Am/G] [C]
And Laura[C]'s asleep in my [Am/G]bed[C]
As I'm leavin[C]g she wakes up and s[Am/G]ays[C]
I dream[Am]ed you were carried awa[Am/G]y ,on the crest of a wave[C] [Am]
Baby don[C]'t go away, come here"[Am/G] [C]
And there's kids p[C]laying guns in the st[Am/G]reet[C]
And ones pointi[C]ng his tree branch [Am/G]at me[C]
So I put [Am]my hands up, I say[Am/G] "enough is enoug[C]h,[Am]
If yo[C]u walk away, I'll walk [Am/G]away"[C]
And he shot me dead
[Am]I found a li[Am/G]quid cure[C]
[Am]From my land[Am/G]locked blues[C]
It'll pa[F]ss awa[Am/G]y like a slow parade[C] [Am]
It's le[C]aving but I don'[Am/G]t know how soon [C]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bright_eyes/landlocked_blues_crd_ver_4.html )
And the world[C]'s got me dizzy a[Am/G]gain[C]
You think[C] after 22 years I'd b[Am/G]e used to the spin[C]
And it [Am]only feels wors[Am/G]e when I stay in one pl[C]ace[Am]
So I'm always pacing around[C] or walking away[Am/G] [C]
I keep drink[C]ing the ink from [Am/G]my pen[C]
And I'm balanci[C]ng history boo[Am/G]ks up on my head[C]
But it all[Am] boils dow[Am/G]n to one quotable phras[C]e[Am]
If you lov[C]e something, give it aw[Am/G]ay[C]
A good woman[C] will pick you a par[Am/G] [C]
A box full [C]of suggestions [Am/G]for your possible heart[C]
But you may b[Am]e offended[Am/G] and you may be afraid[C] [Am]
But don[C]'t walk away, don't walk [Am/G]away[C]
We made love on [C]the living room f[Am/G]loor[C]
With the noise in [C]the background [G]of a televised war[C]
And in the deafening[Am] pleasure [Am/G]I thought I heard someone say[C] [Am]
"If we[C] walk away, they'll wa[Am/G]lk away"[C]
But gree[C]d is a bottom[Am/G]less pit[C]
And our freedo[C]m's a joke we're j[Am/G]ust taking the piss[C]
And the whole[Am] world must watch [Am/G]this sad comic display[C] [Am]
If you'r[C]e still free star[Am/G]t running away[C]
Cause we're coming for you!
Instrumental trumpet bit (keep up the chord progression
I've grown tired o[C]f holding thi[G]s pose[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]fame
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 graves[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
[Am]I know I'm l[G]eaving [C]but I don't know where to
