It is the most interesting Gahan's song for me. In 2003 it became a B-side to "Dirty
sticky floors" single. I advice you to play it by barre chords :)

Hard to watch you suffer, so hard to feel the pain
But you're wrapped so tight in your one block world
Too scared to make the change
Ask yourself this question while you're playing with your gun
Is your finger shaking on the trigger, are you really having fun?
Chorus:
I can't lie to myself today
I have to stand up and walk away
I can't lie to myself this way
I have to stand up and walk away
Stand up ?3
Stand up and walk
Away

CStop (x32010@1)talking
DTry (xx0232@1)listening
C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) To what I'm trying to say
CIf (x32010@1)you're walking
DYou're (xx0232@1)breathing
C (x32010@1) Maybe you can make a change
You give me untold riches to which I hatched a plan
I drink myself to death just because I can
Now I'm judge and jury. Are you having so much fun
Sitting up there on your throne? I've only just begun
Chorus:
I can't lie to myself this way
I have to stand up and walk away
I can't lie to myself today
I have to stand up and walk away
Stand up ?3
Stand up and walk
Away
