Land Locked Blues

   C               G           C
If you walk away, I'll walk away
      C             G             
First tell me which road you will 
C
take
  Am              G          
I don't want to risk our paths 
  C             Am
crossing some day
       C                   G      
So you walk that way, I'll walk 
       C
this way

         C           G        C
And the future hangs over our heads
       C               G       C
And it moves with each current event
         Am         G            
Until it falls all around like a 
C           Am
cold steady rain
          C            G          
Just stay in when it's looking 
  C
this way

        C             G          C
And the moon's laying low in the sky
        C          G        C
Forcing everything metal to shine
        Am             G          
And the sidewalk holds diamonds 
       C             Am
like the jewelry store case
           C                 G    
They argue walk this way, no, walk
          C
 this way

    C        G           C
And Laura's asleep in my bed
        C          G            C
As I'm leaving she wakes up and says
                    Am       G    
"I dreamed you were carried away 
      C          Am
on the crest of a wave
     C             G          C
Baby don't go away, come here"

            C            G        
And there's kids playing guns in 
   C
the street
         C            G           
And ones pointing his tree branch 
   C
at me
     Am           G          C   
So I put my hands up I say 
      Am
"enough is enough,
       C               G         C
If you walk away, I'll walk away"

And he shot me dead

Am         G      C
 I found a liquid cure
Am       G          C
 For my landlocked blues
      F     G          C      Am
It'll pass away like a slow parade
     C             G              
It's leaving but I don't know how 
    C
soon

        C              G      C
And the world's got me dizzy again
                C  G            C
You think after 22 years I'd be used
 to the spin
       Am         G            C 
And it only feels worse when I 
          Am
stay in one place
              C               
So I'm always pacing around or 
G            C
walking away

       C            G           C
I keep drinking the ink from my pen
        C           G              
And I'm balancing history books up 
C
on my head
       Am        G         
But it all boils down to one 
  C        Am
quotable phrase
       C               G          
If you love something, give it 
  C
away

       C          G         C
A good woman will pick you apart
       C        G                  
A box full of suggestions for your 
C
possible heart
        Am        G             C
But you may be offended and you 
        Am
may be afraid
          C                G      
But don't walk away, don't walk 
   C
away

        C           G         
We made love on the living room 
  C
floor
         C                G    
With the noise in the background 
         C
from a televised war
            Am       G        
And in the deafening pleasure I 
            C             Am
thought I heard someone say
      C                   G       
"If we walk away, they'll walk 
   C
away"

    C          G          C
But greed is a bottomless pit
        C           G             
And our freedom's a joke we're 
  C
just taking a piss
        Am               G        
And the whole world must watch the
     C       Am
 sad comic display
          C                G      
If you're still free start running
     C
 away

Cause we're coming for you!

           C        G            
I've grown tired of holding this 
C
pose
       C           G             
I feel more like a stranger each 
C
time I come home
       Am       G             C  
So I'm making a deal with the 
       Am
devils of fame
              C          G       C
Saying "let me walk away, please"

          C          G             
You'll be free child once you have 
C
died
         C           G            
From the shackles of language and 
C
measurable time
         Am           G            
And then we can trade places, play 
C       Am
musical graves
          C         G          C
Till then walk away, walk away
C7

Am     G     C
So I'm up at dawn
Am      G     C
Putting on my shoes
        F      G      C       Am
I just want to make a clean escape
   C              G                
I'm leaving but I don't know where 
C
to
           Am            G        
I know I'm leaving but I don't 
        C
know where to
