[Intro]
Em G Em G
[Verse 1]
Em             G
Walkin' around Out of a town
Em                      G
Walkin' it out When you want to
Em
Soldiering my style is smiling
G
Turn it into whatever i've chosen

Take me now to the water

F       C                         Dm
Out the door i'm a walking like a runaway

All the reasons that i count of you can hold away

Kick it around Stare at the ground
Em                        G

Dancing round do whatever i want to
