Walk Away (acoustic)

Franz Ferdinand

Tom: C

              C
I swapped my innocence for pride
            G
Crushed the end within my stride
          Am                           F
Said 'I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver"
C            G                    Am                F
  I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
C         G                  Am
  Mascara bleeds a blackened tear
Am           C
Oh, And I am cold
        G
Yes I'm cold
           E
But not as cold as you are
C            G                    Am            F
  I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
C            G                    Am            F
  I love the sound of you walking away, walking away,
Em
Hey, hey

Why don't you walk away?
   Cm                   G#
No quake will split the ground
G#
Why don't you walk away?

Statues will not cry

Hey, mmm

Gm   F   Am   E     (2x)
Mmm

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

  And as you walk away
G
  And as you walk away
G#
  And as you walk away
   Cm                 G
My headstone crumbles down
G
As you walk away
Cm                     G#
The Hollywood wind's a howl
G#
As you walk away
Cm
The Kremlin's falling
G
  As you walk away

Radio 4 is static

As you walk away

Oh, as you walk away
F
Oh, as you walk away
E    G     Gm
Hey, mmmm, mmmm

    Gm         F
The stab of stiletto
    Am       E
On a silent night
Gm
  Stalin smiles
F
Hitler laughs
Am
  Churchill claps
        E
Mao Tse-Tung
