[Intro]
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F# x2
[Verse 1]
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
Oh no, here comes that sun again
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
That means another day, without you my friend
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
And it hurts me to look into the mirror at myself
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
And it hurts even more, to have to be with somebody else
[Chorus 1]
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5
And it's so hard to do, and so easy to say
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5/F#
Walk away
[Verse 2]
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
With so many people to love in my life
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
Why do I worry about one
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
But you put the happy in my ness
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
You put the good times into my fun
[Chorus 2]
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5
And it's so hard to do, and so easy to say
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5/F#
Walk away, and head for the door
[Bridge]
Am Em G5 D/F#
We've tried the goodbye so many days
Am Em G5 D/F#
We walk in the same direction, so that we could never stray
Am Em G5 D/F#
They say if you love somebody, then you have got to set them free
Am Em D/F# G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
But I would rather be locked to you, than live in this pain and misery
[Verse 3]
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
They say time will make all this go away
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
But it's time that has taken my tomorrows, and turned them into yesterdays
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
And once again that rising sun is dropping on down
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
And once again you my friend are nowhere to be found
[Chorus 3]
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5
And it's so hard to do, and so easy to say
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5
But sometimes, sometimes you just have to walk away
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5
Walk away, and head for the door
G5/C G5/B G5/A G5/F#
You just walk away
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
Walk away
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
Walk away
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
Just walk on, walk on, turn and head for the door
G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#
Just walk away
