              D5                                A5
 I swapped my innocence for pride, crushed the end within my stride
          B5                           F#5
 Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver


D5           A5                    B5                G5
 I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
D5        A5                  G5
 Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh


          D5              A5
 And I am cold, yes, I'm cold
            F#5
 But not as cold as you are


D5           A5                    B5                G5
 I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
D5           A5                    B5            G5       F#5
 I love the sound of you walking away, walking away... hey


A5
 Why don't you walk away?
A5
 Why don't you walk away?


Bb5                           D5                  Bb5
 Why don't you walk away? No buildings will fall down
                         D5                  Bb5
 Don't you walk away? No quake will split the ground
                          D5                    G5
 Won't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the sky
                      D5               Bb5
 Won't you walk away? Statues will not cry


                      D5                     A5 
 Don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away?
                         C5                               G5     A5
 Why don't you walk away? Why don't you walk away? Hey, hey   Hmmm

          D5                          A5
 I cannot turn to see those eyes as apologies may rise
            B5                    F#5
 I must be strong and stay an unbeliever


D5             A5                    B5                G5
 And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
D5        A5              G5
 Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh


              D5          A5
 And, I'm not cold, I am old
             F#5
 At least as old as you are


 D5              B5            D5            B5
 La, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la, la, la-la-la
               G5                     B5           F#5
 La-la-la la la-la, la-la-la la la-la-la, la-la-la la...


A5
 As you walk away
A5
 Oh, as you walk away


Bb5                       D5                 Bb5
 And as you walk away my headstone crumbles down
                      D5                 Bb5
 As you walk away the Hollywood wind's a howl
                      D5             G5
 As you walk away the Kremlin's falling
                  D5                 Bb5
 As you walk away radio 4 is static


                 D5                   A5
 As you walk away, oh, as you walk away
                     C5                   G5    A5
 Oh, as you walk away, oh, as you walk away, hey


 A5             G5             B5   F#5
 The stab of stiletto on a silent night
 A5              G5              B5                         F#5
 Stalin smiles, Hitler laughs, Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back
