GI'd rather live a life of lies and Cfantasy
GThan to face the truth and realize you're D7leaving me
You Gbuilt me up so G7high my heart can't sCtand to fall
And Glife without your D7love just isn't life at Gall
So walk out backwards if you must Cgo
But please don't D7wave goodbye
Just wave one last Ghello
The truth won't hurt so much if I can Cjust pretend
So walk out baD7ckwards
And I'll think you're walking Gin
Well you walked into my heart in search of Csympathy
And Gfrom that day down to this
You've walked all D7over me
And Gnow you're walking G7out to love somebody Cnew
GBut you're not by D7yourself
Cause my heart's Gleaving too
So walk out backwards if you must Cgo
But please don't D7wave goodbye
Just wave one last Ghello
The truth won't hurt so much if I can Cjust pretend
So walk out baD7ckwards
And I'll think you're walking Gin

G C

I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy

G D7

Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me

G G7 C

You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall

G D7 G

And life without your love just isn't life at all

So walk out backwards if you must go

But please don't wave goodbye

Just wave one last hello

The truth won't hurt so much if I can just pretend

So walk out backwards

And I'll think you're walking in

Well you walked into my heart in search of sympathy

And from that day down to this

You've walked all over me

G G7 C

And now you're walking out to love somebody new

G D7

But you're not by yourself

Cause my heart's leaving too

So walk out backwards if you must go

But please don't wave goodbye

Just wave one last hello

The truth won't hurt so much if I can just pretend

So walk out backwards

And I'll think you're walking in
