Walk Out Backwards

Tom: E

    E                     E7       A
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
        E                                      B
Than to face the truth and realize that you're leaving me
    E                                  A
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall
    E                 E7              B7
And life without your love just isn't life at all

            E                     A
So walk out backwards if you must go
                 B
But please don't wave goodbye
                   E
Just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much
         A
If I can just pretend
   A    Bb  B
So walk out backwards
                              E
And I'll think you're walking in

          E                       E7        A
Well, you walked into my heart in search of sympathy
         E                                        B
And from that day down to this, you've walked all over me
    E                                   A
And now you're walking out to love some body new
    E                                        B7
But you're not by yourself, cause my heart's leaving, too

            E                     A
So walk out backwards if you must go
                 B
But please don't wave goodbye
                   E
Just wave one last hello
The truth won't hurt so much
         A
If I can just pretend
   A    Bb  B
So walk out backwards
                              E
And I'll think you're walking in
   A    Bb  B
So walk out backwards
                              E
And I'll think you're walking in
