Version 1
               C               G           C
If you walk away, I'll walk away
      C             G             C
First tell me which road you will take
  Am              G            C             Am
I don't want to risk our paths crossing some day
       C                   G             C
So you walk that way, I'll walk this way

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

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

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

            C            G           C
And there's kids playing guns in the street
         C            G              C
And ones pointing his tree branch at me
     Am           G          C         Am
So I put my hands up I say "enough is enough,
       C               G         C
If you walk away, I'll walk away"
                   C7
And he shot me dead

Am         G      C
 I found a liquid cure
Am       G          C
 For my landlocked blues
      F     G          C      Am
It'll pass away like a slow parade
     C             G                  C
It's leaving but I don't know how soon

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

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

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

        C           G           C
We made love on the living room floor
         C                G             C
With the noise in the background from a televised war
            Am       G                    C             Am
And in the deafening pleasure I thought I heard someone say
      C                   G          C
"If we walk away, they'll walk away"

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

Cause we're coming for you!

           C        G            C
I've grown tired of holding this pose
       C           G             C
I feel more like a stranger each time I come home
       Am       G             C         Am
So I'm making a deal with the devils of fame
              C          G       C
Saying "let me walk away, please"

          C          G             C
You'll be free child once you have died
         C           G            C
From the shackles of language and measurable time
         Am           G            C       Am
And then we can trade places, play musical graves
          C         G          C
Till then walk away, walk away
C7

Am     G     C
So I'm up at dawn
Am      G     C
Putting on my shoes
        F      G      C       Am
I just want to make a clean escape
   C              G                C
I'm leaving but I don't know where to
           Am            G                C
I know I'm leaving but I don't know where to
