D5                                  G5 
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy 
         D5                                        A5 
Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me 
    D5                                   G5 
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall 
     D5                     A5                  D5 
And life without your love just isn't life at all 


                                  G5 
So walk out backwards if you must go 
    A5                                             D5 
But please don't wave goodbye, Just wave one last hello 
                                             G5 
The truth won't hurt so much, If I can just pretend,  
              A5                                     D5 
So walk out backwards, And I'll think you're walking in 
 

                                             G5 
Well, you walked into my heart in search of sympathy 
          D5                                            A5 
And from that day down to this, You've walked all over me 
     D5                                       G5 
And now you're walking out to love somebody new 
     D5               A5                                D5 
But you're not by yourself, 'Cause my heart's leaving too 
 

                                  G5 
So walk out backwards if you must go 
    A5                                             D5 
But please don't wave goodbye, Just wave one last hello 
                                             G5 
The truth won't hurt so much, If I can just pretend,  
              A5                                     D5 
So walk out backwards, And I'll think you're walking in
