Shouldnt Have Walked Away

C   G   Am   F  (X2)

C                              G
She says she walks among great queens and kings
Am                                        F
   She says she knows how the caged bird sings
       C                         G
She says she doesn’t need anything
Am                        F
And I should leave if I mind

C                                  G
I put my hands in my pockets and walked away real slow
     Am                            F
I put my hands in my pockets because, well, you know
C                              G             Am         F
I didn’t want to touch anything at the scene of the crime

C                          G      Am               F
But I shouldn’t have walked away; I shouldn’t have walked away

C                              G
Now they say your first love leaves a mark or a scar
Am                                        F
That you can set out at night by the light of a star
C                              G             Am         F
But you will carry that sadness with you the whole way

C                              G
And I was sailin’ up high over city hall
Am                                        F
And I pulled on the ripcord when I started to fall
C                       G         Am         F
And I hoped to slow down but it was too late

C                          G      Am               F
But I shouldn’t have walked away; I shouldn’t have walked away  (X2)

C    G    Am   F (X2)

C                                      G
You remember back in the day you could still make her out
Am                            F
Back before the light of the world went out
C
You could still see her taking chances
G                     Am    F
And dancing wild and free

C               G
But now, out in front the battle lines are drawn
Am                                          F
And the gray light of the war will just get darker at dawn
C                                  G                      Am        F
And she’s a sweet thing to think of but, man, she’s just a memory

C                          G      Am               F
But I shouldn’t have walked away; I shouldn’t have walked away

C                                G
They can have all my money and my medals and my dreams
Am                                  F
I’ve been too long just turning in their washing machines
C                             G                Am      F
I’ll leave tonight by the moon and the roar of the sea

C                                G
And I don’t care if I’m gone til my body gives out
Am                                        F
I don’t care if I die full of worry and doubt
C                             G                Am      F
I will find her I swear she’s still waiting for me

C                          G      Am               F
But I shouldn’t have walked away; I shouldn’t have walked away (Repeat until end)
      C               G        Am              F
I will find her I swear she’s still waiting for me
