Walking By - Something Corporate

      C            G             Am          F
Your granddad left home for the circus
       C               G         Am        F
He was young just like me, with hopes to explore
    C        G        Am        F
He married a girl in Virginia
          C          G      Am          F            C      G  Am  F   
She could swing the trapeze; they could sleep on the floor.

      C         G       Am           F
Your mother was born in December
       C         G        Am          F
On the one sunny day that winter gave up
        C           G           Am                F
She had warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies
         C             G        
When she stared at the world.

   C   Dm Em  F           Am      F
So why do you leave these stories unfinished
   C              G            Am             F
My Cheshire cat doorstop, with tears in her eyes?
C   Dm Em  F                Am      F
Why do you look when you?ve already found me?
   C         G                Am        F      C    G    Am   F 
What did you find that could leave you, walking by?

         C          G           Am           F 
She was raised in a new England village
         C       G            Am       F
Then she moved to LA with her firefly stare
        C              G              Am            F
And you loved 'Sunset Strip' when it sparkled
         C          G              Am           F
You grew up and you sparkled, but why won?t you care.

   C   Dm Em  F           Am      F
So why do you leave these stories unfinished
   C                G          Am             F
My Cheshire cat doorstop, with tears in her eyes?
C   Dm Em  F                Am      F
Why do you look when you?ve already found me?
C             G              Am          F      C   G  Am F
What did you find that could leave you, walking by?

      C            G              Am            F
These nights I get high just from breathing
       C             G        Am            F
When I lie here with you, I?m sure that I?m real
          C        G        Am           F
Like that firework over the freeway
        C             G              Am          F
I could stay here all day but that?s not how you feel


   C   Dm Em  F           Am        F
So why do you leave these questions unanswered?
    C      G                 Am       F
The circus awaits and you?re already gone
   C             G           Am             F
My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in her smile
     C           G        Am        F       C   G    Am   F
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?


    C          G          Am             F
And what did I do that you can?t seem to want me
 C        G            Am          F
Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
C     Dm  Em F           Am             F
Where can I go that your pictures won?t haunt me
     C           G       Am         F       C     G   Am   F
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
