WALK AWAY (Amy Ray)
-------------------
[Each chord, or chords joined by hyphens, is two fast 2/2 measures
or one slow 4/4 measure, depending on how you look at it.]
[The E's have some Esus4's in them, and the A's have Asus9's.]
[B(4) is x24440.]
[At the end of the second E in each E Bm7 A E series, play a
riff that goes 0-1-2 on the D string, then open G string.]
E[intBm7ro]A E E Bm7 A E
EWe used to walk in each otBm7her's arms,
It was one on oAne, that's what you saEid
ENow the moon is a Bm7sliver in our eye
And we stumble Ableeding on this broken glEass
C#mThere was too much repetiBtion (over and over and over again)
C#mYou know I passed the point of sBane (over and over and over again)
C#mBut all this broken glass yBou left behind
A B(4)
Won't let you make a clean, clean
Walk awEayBm7 A E
Now we're crossing from this sacred ground
Where we once held each other, and each other's names
When the words are sparse, and we feel we're so profound
But babe, you know all I feel honey, I feel so ashamed
Ah, hah, yes there was, there was too much repetition
Oh, you know you know you know, you know I'm past the point of sane
Ah, ho, woh, and all this broken glass we left behind
Won't let us make a clean, clean
I said walk away, oh yeah, walk away
Oh no, walk away, baby baby, walk away, oh lord
I said walk away, ah yeah, walk away
Ah no, walk away, baby baby, walk away
GThere was a time when we gave Deverything
And it was trAue, babe, true enough to blEeed (true enough to bleed, baby)
GBut now you feel that you've got nDothing left
A B(4)
Well if there's nothing to lose babe, oh baby, don't you know by now
Then there's nothing to gEain, oh no, walk awBm7ay
Oh no, walk awAay, oh baby baby, walk awEay
You know I'd still hold you if I could
It's hard not to try and change, try to change your mind
Well I'm a pillar of salt and I want you to understand, babe
'Cause honey, this is the last time, it's the last time
I'll ever look behind
Oh yeah, walk away
Oh no, walk away, baby baby, walk away, all right, let's go
E Bm7 A E E Bm7 A E E Bm7 A B(4)
[guitar solo; see tab at end.]
Oh, I said walk away, oh yeah, walk away
Oh no, walk away, baby baby, walk away
Oh no, I said walk away, walk away, I said close your eyes
(Don't you know we used to walk in each other's arms)
Walk away, baby baby, try to listen to me, I want to tell you
(It was one on one (?), that's waht you said to me baby, yeah)
Now walk away, oh yeah, walk away, gotta learn to look inside
(Now the moon is a sliver in our eyes)
Walk away, baby baby, baby baby, baby baby
(We stumble, walking on broken glass, oh)
I said walk away, c'mon baby, walk away, I said listen to me
Walk away, baby baby, listen, I want to tell you
Now walk awEay, oh yeah, walk awBm7ay

And we stumble bleeding on this broken glass
