              D                                A
 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

 But not as cold as you are

 Won't you walk away? The sun won't swallow the sky
                      Dm               Bb
 Won't you walk away? Statues will not cry

 And as you walk away my headstone crumbles down

 As you walk away the Hollywood wind's a howl

 As you walk away the Kremlin's falling

 As you walk away radio 4 is static

 Am              G              Bm                         F#m
 Stalin smiles, Hitler laughs, Churchill claps Mao Tse-Tung on the back
