D#                       Cm/G       D#
If you walk away, I'll walk away
        D#                   Cm/G             D#
First tell me which road you will take
    Cm              Cm/G                     D#         Cm
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
     D#                             Cm/G           D#
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way


              D#                  Cm/G           D#
And the future hangs over our heads
           D#                        Cm/G           D#
And it moves with each current event
    Cm               Cm/G                   D#                 Cm
Until it falls all around like a cold steady rain
       D#                        Cm/G                 D#
Just stay in when it's looking this way

               D#                   Cm/G               D#
And the moon's laying low in the sky
             D#                Cm/G           D#
Forcing everything metal to shine
              Cm                   Cm/G               D#          Cm
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
           D#                               Cm/G         D#
They argue walk this way, no walk this way

         D#               Cm/G           D#
And Laura's asleep in my bed
             D#                   Cm/G            D#
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says
       Cm                     Cm/G                       D#       Cm
I dreamed you were carried away ,on the crest of a wave
        D#                       Cm/G         D#
Baby don't go away, come here"

                  D#                    Cm/G          D#
And there's kids playing guns in the street
               D#                  Cm/G              D#     
And ones pointing his tree branch at me
         Cm                Cm/G             D#              Cm
So I put my hands up, I say "enough is enough,
     D#                      Cm/G            D#
If you walk away, I'll walk away"
And he shot me dead

Cm          Cm/G      D#
I found a liquid cure
Cm          Cm/G                D#
From my landlocked blues
        G#     Cm/G                D#       Cm
It'll pass away like a slow parade
       D#               Cm/G                      D#
It's leaving but I don't know how soon 


             D#                Cm/G          D#
And the world's got me dizzy again
         D#                    Cm/G          D#
You think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
       Cm             Cm/G                   D#        Cm
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
                           D#                    Cm/G         D#
So I'm always pacing around or walking away

            D#                Cm/G                   D#
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
               D#             Cm/G                     D#
And I'm balancing history books up on my head
          Cm        Cm/G                   D#           Cm
But it all boils down to one quotable phrase
          D#                      Cm/G               D#
If you love something, give it away

            D#                    Cm/G               D#
A good woman will pick you a par
           D#              Cm/G                        D#
A box full of suggestions for your possible heart
             Cm        Cm/G                   D#         Cm
But you may be offended and you may be afraid
       D#                        Cm/G                        D#
But don't walk away, don't walk away

                D#                Cm/G                D#
We made love on the living room floor
                  D#              A#                        D#
With the noise in the background of a televised war
                    Cm        Cm/G                              D#                Cm
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
      D#                     Cm/G                           D#
"If we walk away, they'll walk away"

        D#            Cm/G               D#
But greed is a bottomless pit
              D#                 Cm/G                      D#
And our freedom's a joke we're just taking the piss
             Cm                Cm/G                 D#      Cm
And the whole world must watch this sad comic display
        D#                Cm/G                      D#
If you're still free start running away

Cause we're coming for you!

Instrumental trumpet bit (keep up the chord progression
                  D#            A#               D#
I've grown tired of holding this pose
          D#                 A#                   D#
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
       Cm       A#             D#         Cm
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
        D#                A#       D#
Saying "let me walk away, please"

                 D#            A#                       D#
You'll be free child once you have died
                D#                A#                     D#
From the shackles of language and immeasurable time
             Cm        A#                          D#           Cm
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
        D#                      A#               D#
Till then walk away, walk away

Cm          A#      D#
So I'm up at dawn
Cm          A#      D#
Putting on my shoes
        G#           A#          D#       Cm
I just want to make a clean escape
Cm          A#      D#
I'm leaving but I don't know where to
Cm          A#      D#
I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to
