Chord progression arranged for the Ukulele
D# D#                       A# A#                     D# D#
If you walk away, I'll walk away
D# D# A# A# D# D#
First tell me which road you will take
Cm Cm A# A# D# D# Cm Cm
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
D# D# A# A# D# D#
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way


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

D# D# A# A# D# D#
And the moon's laying low in the sky
D# D# A# A# D# D#
Forcing everything metal to shine
Cm Cm A# A# D# D# Cm Cm
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like the jewelry store case
D# D# A# A# D# D#
They argue walk this way, now walk this way

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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


D# D# A# A# D# D#
I've grown tired of holding this post
D# D# A# A# D# D#
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
Cm Cm A# A# D# D# Cm Cm
So I'm making a deal with the devils of faith
D# D# A# A# D# D#
Saying "let me walk away, please"

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

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