[Intro]

G5 G5/F# G5/E G5/F#

[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
