Landlocked Blues

Capo 3

C                 Gsus4      C
If you walk away, I’ll walk away
C                   Gsus4         
First tell me which road you will 
C
take
  Am            Gsus4        
I don’t want to risk our paths 
  C             Am
crossing some day
   C                  Gsus4       
So you walk that way, I’ll walk 
   C
this way

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

And the moon’s laying low in the sky
Forcing everything metal to shine
And the sidewalk holds diamonds like
 the jewellery store case
They argue walk this way, no, walk 
this way

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

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

And he shot me dead

Am        Gsus4  C
I found a liquid cure
Am     Gsus4      C
For my landlocked blues
        F    Gsus4       C      Am
It will pass away like a slow parade
     C             G              
It’s leaving but I don’t know how 
C
soon

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

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

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

We made love on the living room 
floor
With the noise in the background of 
a televised war
And in the deafening pleasure I 
thought I heard someone say
“If we walk away, they’ll walk away"

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

Cause we’re coming for you!

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

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

Am     G     C
So I’m up at dawn
Am      G     C
Putting on my shoes
       F       Gsus4  C     Am
I just want to make a clean escape
    C             Gsus4            
I’m leaving but I don’t know where 
C
to
           Am            Gsus4    
I know I’m leaving but I don’t 
        C
know where to
