Lyrics
Just Walk Away
2x C C9 C Am F
C C9 C Am F
So here we sit hearts in hand at Dandelion Park
C C9 C Am F
The sun starting to fade away and melt into the dark
C C9 C Am F
Hours feel like days as we both struggle just to talk
C C9 C Am F
Seems no matter what I say I know you're gonna' walk, walk away
C C9 C Am F
Just walk away
C C9 C Am F
C C9 C Am F
Through a stream of tears you told me all the bad news
C C9 C Am F
And all the cold hard words you had to suffer through
C C9 C Am F
How mama found your diary and set you down for a talk
C C9 C Am F
Then told your father everything now you want me to walk, walk away
C C9 C Am F
Just walk away
C C9 C Am F
G7
Pretend that it wasn't real
F
Walk away from how we feel
G7
Like strangers that never talk
F C F stop
They say we have to walk aw-----------ay
N/C
Just walk away
C C9 C Am F
Just walk away
2x C C9 C Am F
C C9 C Am F
Now days turn into years we're like two ships adrift at sea
C C9 C Am F
Two kindred souls whose paths come together occasionally
C C9 C Am F
For a fleeting moment in time we love, laugh, cry and talk
C C9 C Am F
Then with hearts in hand say maybe next time then we walk, walk away
C C9 C Am F
Just walk away
C C9 C Am F
G7
Pretend that it wasn't real
F
Walk away from how we feel
G7
Like strangers that never talk
F C F stop
Circumstance says we walk aw-----------ay
N/C
Just walk away
C C9 C Am F
Just walk away
C C9 C Am F
Just walk away
C C9 C Am F
Just walk away
C C9 C Am F
Just walk away
