Take a Walk

E
All these kinds of places
        B
Make it seem like it's been ages
   G#m                             
Tomorrow's sun with buildings 
       F#
scrape the sky
   E
I love this country dearly
       B
I can feel the lighter clearly
     G#m                         
But never thought I'd be alone to 
   F#
try

E
Once I was outside Penn station
B
Selling red and white carnations
G#m                               F#
We were still alone, my wife and I
E
Before we marry, save my money
B
Brought my dear wife over
       G#m                         
Now I want to bring my family state
   F#
 side

[Chorus 1]
E                      B
To rock the boat they sail a while
      F#
Then scatter cross the coast
E                  B             
Once a year I'll see them for a week
F#
 or so at most
          E       B       G#m    
I took a walk
   F#

[Verse 2]
E
Practice isn't perfect
          B
But the market cuts a loss
     G#m                           
I remind myself that times could be
       F#
 much worse
     E
My wife won't ask me questions
        B
And there's not so much to ask
            G#m                  
And she'll never flaunt around an 
         F#
empty purse

E
Once my mother-in-law came,
          B
Just to stay a couple nights
        G#m                        
And decided she would stay the rest
         F#
 of her life
   E                            
I watch my little children, play 
        B
some board game in the kitchen
       G#m                         
And I sit and pray they never feel 
     F#
my strife.

[Chorus 2]
     E               B            
But then my partner called to say 
     F#
the pension funds were gone
    E                B
He made some bad investments
         F#
Now the counts are overdrawn
          E       B       G#m    
I took a walk
   F#


[Verse 3]
C#m              D#m        
Honey it's your son, I think I 
    E
borrowed just to much
        C#m          D#m
We had taxes we had bills
          E
We had a lifestyle of fun
       C#m               D#m
And tonight I swear I'll come home
               E                 F#
And we'll make love like we're young
       C#m               D#m
And tomorrow you'll cook dinner
        E                 F#
For the neighbors and the kids
         C#m              D#m
We can rip apart those socialists
     E                F#
And all their damn taxes
       C#m          D#m
You'll see I am no criminal

[Chorus 3]
    E                F#
I'm down on both bad knees
    C#m             D#m
I'm just too much a coward
     E               F#
To admit when I'm in need
          E       B       G#m    
I took a walk
   F#
