[Verse]
C#mAll these kinds of places make it Eseem like it's been ages
ToG#mmorrow some new building will scrape the F#sky
I C#mlove this country dearly, I can fEeel the ladder clearly
But G#mnever thought I'd be alone to F#try
C#mOnce I was outside Penn Station Eselling red and white carnations
   G#mWe were still alone my wife and F#I
BefC#more we married saved my money
EBrought my dear wife over
Now I G#mwork to bring my family stateF#side
But oEff the boat they sG#mtayed awhile then F#6scattered across the F#coast
EOnce a year I'll G#msee them for a F#6week or so at F#most
[Chorus]
I took a Ewalk  (take a walk, take a Bwalk, take a walkF#, take a walk, oG#mooh)           
I took a Ewalk  (take a walk, take a Bwalk, take a walkF#, take a walk, oG#mooh)
[Verse]
EPractice isn't perfect but the market cuts the loss
I reG#mmind myself that times could be much F#worse
My C#mwife won't ask me questions
There's not so Emuch to ask
And she'll G#mnever flaunt around an empty F#purse
C#mOnce my mother-in-law came just to Estay a couple nights
Then decG#mided she would stay the rest of her lF#ife
I C#mwatch my little children play some Eboard game in the kitchen
And I G#msit and pray they never feel my F#strife
But Ethen my partner cG#malled to say the F#6pension funds were F#gone
He Emade some bad inG#mvestments now the acF#6counts are overF#drawn
[Chorus]
I took a Ewalk  (take a walk, take a Bwalk, take a walkF#, take a walk, oG#mooh)           
I took a Ewalk  (take a walk, take a Bwalk, take a walkF#, take a walk, oG#mooh)
[Verse]
EHoney, it's your D#mson I think I Eborrowed just too much
We had tEaxes, we had D#mbills, we had a Elifestyle to front
And tonC#might I swear I'll D#mcome home and we'll Emake love like we're F#young
And Etomorrow you'll cook G#mdinner for the F#6neighbors and their F#kids
We can Erip apart those G#msocialists and F#6all their damn taxF#es
But Esee I am no G#mcriminal, I'm F#6down on both bad F#knees
I'm jEust too much a G#mcoward, to adF#6mit when I'm in F#need
[Chorus]
I took a Ewalk  (take a walk, take a Bwalk, take a walkF#, take a walk, oG#mooh)           
I took a Ewalk  (take a walk, take a Bwalk, take a walkF#, take a walk, oG#mooh)
I took a Ewalk  (take a walk, take a Bwalk, take a walkF#, take a walk, oG#mooh)           
I took a Ewalk  (take a walk, take a Bwalk, take a walkF#, take a walk, oG#mooh)

C#m E

All these kinds of places make it seem like it's been ages

G#m F#

Tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky

C#m E

I love this country dearly, I can feel the ladder clearly

G#m F#

But never thought I'd be alone to try

C#m E

Once I was outside Penn Station selling red and white carnations

G#m F#

We were still alone my wife and I

C#m

Before we married saved my money

Brought my dear wife over

G#m F#

Now I work to bring my family stateside

E G#m F#6 F#

But off the boat they stayed awhile then scattered across the coast

E G#m F#6 F#

Once a year I'll see them for a week or so at most

[Chorus]

E B F# G#m

I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oooh)

E B F# G#m

I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oooh)

[Verse]

Practice isn't perfect but the market cuts the loss

G#m F#

I remind myself that times could be much worse

C#m

My wife won't ask me questions

There's not so much to ask

G#m F#

And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse

C#m E

Once my mother-in-law came just to stay a couple nights

G#m F#

Then decided she would stay the rest of her life

C#m E

I watch my little children play some board game in the kitchen

G#m F#

And I sit and pray they never feel my strife

E G#m F#6 F#

But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone

E G#m F#6 F#

He made some bad investments now the accounts are overdrawn

[Chorus]

E B F# G#m

I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oooh)

E B F# G#m

I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oooh)

[Verse]

E D#m E

Honey, it's your son I think I borrowed just too much

E D#m E

We had taxes, we had bills, we had a lifestyle to front

C#m D#m E F#

And tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young

E G#m F#6 F#

And tomorrow you'll cook dinner for the neighbors and their kids

E G#m F#6 F#

We can rip apart those socialists and all their damn taxes

E G#m F#6 F#

But see I am no criminal, I'm down on both bad knees

E G#m F#6 F#

I'm just too much a coward, to admit when I'm in need

[Chorus]

E B F# G#m

I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oooh)

E B F# G#m

I took a walk (take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, take a walk, oooh)
