 the chords are in relation to the capo on the 3rd fret.
If Cyou walk away I’ll walk away
First Ctell me which yoGu road you wiCll take
I Amdon’t wanna Grisk our paths Ccrossing sAmome day
So Cyou walk that waGy I’ll walk this Cway
The Cfuture hangs Gover our Cheads
And it Cmoves with each Gcurrent eCvent
Until it Amfalls all aGround us
Like a Ccold steady Amrain
Just stay Cin when it’s Glooking this Cway
The Cmoon’s laying Glow in the Csky
Forcing Ceverything Gmeadow to Cshine
And the Amsidewalk hold Gdiamonds like a Cjewellery store Amcase
They argue ‘Cwalk this way, no Gwalk this way’C  
CLaura’s aGsleep in my Cbed
As I’m Cleaving she Gwakes up and Csays
‘I dreamed you were Amtaken aGway on the Ccrest of a Amwave
Baby Cdon’t go aGway come heCre’
And there’s Ckids playing Gguns in the Cstreet
And one’s Cpointing his Gtree branch at Cme
So I Amput my hands Gup, and say ‘eCnough is eAmnough,
If Cyou walk away GI’ll walk aCway’ (and then he shot me dead)
CI found a Gliquid Ccure
For my Gland love Cblues
And we’d Fpass aGway, like a Cslow paAmrade
It’s Cleaving but I Gdon’t know how Csoon
The Cworld’s got me Gdizzy aCgain
You’d think after C22 Gyears I’d be Cused to the spin
And it Amonly feels Gworse when I Cstay in one Amplace
So I’m always Cpacing around or Gwalking aCway
I Cdrinking the Gink from my Cpen
And I’m Cbalancing Ghistory books Cup on my head
And it Amall boils Gdown to one Cquotable Amphrase:
‘If you Clove something Ggive it aCway’
A good Cwoman will Gpick you aCpart
A box Cfull of suGggestions for a Cpossible heart
And you Ammay be ofGfended and you Cmay be aAmfraid
But Cdon’t walk away Gdon’t walk awaCy
We made Clove on the Gliving room Cfloor
With the Cnoise in the Gbackground from the Ctelevised war
And in the Amdeafening Gpleasure I thought I Cheard someone Amsay
If Cwe walk away Gthey’ll walk Caway
But Cgreed is a Gbottomless Cpit
And our Cfreedom’s a Gjoke we’re just Ctaking the piss
And the Amwhole world must Gwatch the sad Ccomic disAmplay
If you’re Cstill free start Grunning aCway
(cos they’ll come for you!)
I’ve grown Ctired of Gholding this Cpose
I feel Cmore like a Gstranger each Ctime I come home
So I’m Ammaking a Gdeal with the Cdevil’s of Amfame
Saying ‘let Cme walk away, Gplease’C  
‘you’ll be Cfree child Gonce you have Cdied
         C           G            C
And then Amwe can trade Gplaces, play Cmusical Amgrace
Tell me ‘Cwalk away Gwalk away walk aCway’’
CSo I’m Gup at Cdawn, Cputting Gon my Cshoes
I just Fwanna Gmake, a Cclean eAmscape
I’m Cleaving but I Gdon’t know where Cto
I’m Cleaving but I Gdon’t know where Cto

the chords are in relation to the capo on the 3rd fret.

If you walk away I’ll walk away

C G C

First tell me which you road you will take

Am G C Am

I don’t wanna risk our paths crossing some day

C G C

So you walk that way I’ll walk this way

C G C

The future hangs over our heads

C G C

And it moves with each current event

Am G

Until it falls all around us

C Am

Like a cold steady rain

C G C

Just stay in when it’s looking this way

C G C

The moon’s laying low in the sky

C G C

Forcing everything meadow to shine

Am G C Am

And the sidewalk hold diamonds like a jewellery store case

C G C

They argue ‘walk this way, no walk this way’

C G C

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 taken 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 one’s pointing his tree branch at me

Am G C Am

So I put my hands up, and say ‘enough is enough,

C G C

If you walk away I’ll walk away’ (and then he shot me dead)

C G C

I found a liquid cure

G C

For my land love blues

F G C Am

And we’d pass away, like a slow parade

C G C

It’s leaving but I don’t know how soon

C G C

The world’s got me dizzy again

C G C

You’d 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 drinking the ink from my pen

C G C

And I’m balancing history books up on my head

Am G C Am

And 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 a possible heart

Am G C Am

And 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 the 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 the 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

(cos they’ll come 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 devil’s 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

Am G C Am

And then we can trade places, play musical grace

C G C

Tell me ‘walk away walk away walk away’’

C G C C G C

So I’m up at dawn, putting on my shoes

F G C Am

I just wanna make, a clean escape

C G C

I’m leaving but I don’t know where to

C G C

I’m leaving but I don’t know where to
