Capo 2


Walking By - Something Corporate

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

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

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

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

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


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


   G   Am Bm  C             Am        C
So why do you leave these questions unanswered
     G  Am Bm  C              Am          C
The circus awaits, and you're already gone
   G    Am Bm  C               Am           C
My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in your smile
   G  Am Bm  C             Am      C       
What makes is so easy for you to be walking by?
    G   Am Bm  C             Am          C
And what did I do that you can?t seem to want me
G   Am Bm  C             Am         C
Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
 G   Am Bm  C             Am            C
Where can I go that your pictures won?t haunt me
      G   Am Bm  C        Am       C                G Am Bm C  Am C
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
