WALK AWAY
Eric Clapton
from the album 'August' (1986)

INTRO:
C  Bb  F
VERSE 1:
C                          Bb            F
You leave a trail of tears wherever you go
C                       Bb              F
One of us will hold you, the other one won't
C                                 Bb             F
But I could never share your love or leave it behind
Dm     F  G               C
    Break his heart, not mine
VERSE 2:
C                      Bb            F
Can you remember tender moments we shared?
C                             Bb                F
How could this true affection vanish into thin air?
C                               Bb                          F
He's not worth the trouble baby, he's just a waste of your time
Dm     F  G              C
Oh, break his heart, not mine
CHORUS:
 C            G   Am G                     AmG F
()                                             
And don't you walk away, you know you're gonna miss me
           G               Am
Don't you walk away, walk away
F   G                    F   G                            C
   You're gonna miss me,    you're gonna miss my love
 C           G   Am            F              G
()                                            
So don't you walk away, don't you walk away, walk away
           F               G
Don't you walk away, walk away

So I'll be waiting in the back room baby

Oh, break his heart, not mine
