             C
I swapped my innocence for pride
            G
Crushed the end within my stride
         Ami                         Emi
Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
C         G                   Ami               F
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
C        G                  F
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
         C              G
And I am cold, yes, I'm cold
          Emi
But not as cold as you are

C            G                   Ami              F
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away

Hey

G  F  Am  Em

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliever
And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I'm not cold, I am old
At least as old as you are

And as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood winds will howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static
As you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Hey

Mao Tse Tung on the back
