              D
I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride

I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
D       A                  G
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh

And I am cold, yes, I'm cold
           F#m
But not as cold as you are

Won't you walk away

Won't you walk away?

Statues will not cry

Don't you walk away

Hey   

Repeat intro x2

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

    Am      G
The stab of stiletto
     Bm     F#m  
On a silent night
Am            G
Stalin smiles Hitler laughs
Bm                      F#m
Churchill claps Mao Tse Tung on the back
