              D                                A
 I swapped my innocence for pride, crushed the end within my stride
             Bm                         F#m
 Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver

D            A                     Bm                G
 I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
D          A                 G
 Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh...

           D              A
 And I am cold, yes, I'm cold
             F#m
 But not as cold as you are

D            A                     Bm                G
 I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
D            A                     Bm            G      F#m
 I love the sound of you walking away, walking away... hey hey...

A
 Why don't you walk away?
A
 Why don't you walk away?

Bb                            Dm                  Bb
 Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down
                          Dm                    Bb
 Don't you walk away? No quake will split the ground
                           Dm                     Gm
 Won't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the sky
                        Dm               Bb
 Won't you walk away? Statues will not cry

                     Dm                        A
 Don't you walk away?  Why don't you walk away?
                         C                          G   A
 Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Hey,Hum

(Intro)

           D                          A
 I cannot turn to see those eyes as apologies may rise
              Bm                   F#m
 I must be strong and stay an unbeliever

D              A                     Bm                G
 And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
D          A              G
 Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh

               D         A
 And, I'm not cold, I am old
             F#m
 At least as old as you are

  D              Bm            D             Bm
 La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la-la
                 G                     Bm           F#m
 La-la-la la la-la, la-la-la la la-la-la, la-la-la la...

A
 As you walk away
A
 Oh, as you walk away

Bb                        Dm                 Bb
 And as you walk away my headstone crumbles down
                       Dm                 Bb
 As you walk away the Hollywood wind's a howl
                        Dm                Gm
 As you walk away the Kremlin's falling
                   Dm          Bb
 As you walk away radio 4 is static

                 Dm                    A
 As you walk away, oh, as you walk away
                     C                        G    A
 Oh, as you walk away, oh, as you walk away, hey, hum..

       Am        G        Bm       F#m
 The stab of stiletto on a silent night
Am               G               Bm                     F#m
 Stalin smiles, Hitler laughs, Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back
