Land Locked Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
If [C]you walk away [G]I walk a[C]way
First tell me which [G]road you will [C]take
I [Am]don't want to [G]risk
our paths [C]crossing some[Am]day
So you [C]walk that way I'll [G]walk this [C]way

[Verse 2]
And the [C]fu ture hangs [G]over our [C]heads
And it moves with each cur[G]rent e[C]vent
Until it [Am]falls all a[G]round like a [C]cold steady [Am]rain
Just stay [C]in when it's look[G]in' this [C]way

[Verse 3]
And the [C]moon's laying [G]low in the [C]sky
Forcing everything met[G]al to [C]shine
And the side[Am]walk holds [G]diamonds
like a [C]jewelry store [Am]case
They argue [C]"Walk this way", [G]"No, walk this [C]way"

[Verse 4]
And Lau[C]ra's a[G]sleep in my [C]bed
As I'm leaving she [G]wakes up and [C]says
"I dreamed you were car[Am]ried a[G]way
on the [C]crest of a [Am]wave
Baby, [C]don't go [G]away, come [C]here"

[Verse 5]
And there's [C]kids playing [G]guns in the [C]street
And one's pointing his [G]tree branch at [C]me
So I [Am]put my hands [G]up I say
"E[C]nough is e[Am]nough,
if you [C]walk away I [G]walk away"
[C](And he shot me dead)

[Chorus 1]
[Am]I found a liqu[G]id cure[C]
[Am]For my landl[G]ocked blue[C]s
It will [F]pass a[G]way like a [C]slow pa[Am]rade
It's leav[C]ing but I [G]don't know how [C]soon

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 6]
And the [C]world's got me diz[G]zy a[C]gain
You'd think after twenty-two [G]years,
I'd be [C]used to the spin
And it [Am]on ly feels w[G]orse
when I [C]stay in one [Am]place
So I'm always [C]pacing around [G]or walking a[C]way

[Verse 7]
I keep [C]drinking the [G]ink from my [C]pen
And I'm balancing [G]history books
[C]up on my head
But it [Am]all boils d[G]own to one q[C]uotable [Am]phrase:
"If you [C]love something give [G]it [C]away"

[Verse 8]
A good [C]woman will [G]pick you a[C]part
A box full of sug[G]gestions
for your [C]possible heart
But you [Am]may be off[G]ended
and you [C]may be a[Am]fraid
But [C]don't walk away, don't [G]walk [C]away

[Verse 9]
We made [C]love on the liv[G]ing room [C]floor
With the noise in the [G]background
from a [C]televised war
And in the [Am]deafening pleas[G]ure,
I thought I [C]heard someone [Am]say
If [C]we walk away, [G]they'll walk [C]away

[Verse 10]
But [C]greed is a bot[G]tomless [C]pit
And our freedom's a [G]joke
we're just [C]taking a piss
And the [Am]whole world must [G]watch
the sad com[C]ic dis[Am]play
If you're [C]still free, start run[G]nin' away
[C]'Cause we're comin' for ya

[Interlude 2]
[C][G][C]

[Am][G][C][Am]

[Verse 11]
I've grown [C]tired of [G]holding this [C]pose
I feel more like a [G]stranger
each [C]time I come home
So I'm [Am]making a [G]deal with the dev[C]ils of [Am]fame
Sayin' let [C]me walk a[G]way, [C]please

[Verse 12]
You'll be [C]free, child, [G]once you have [C]died
From the shackles of [G]language
and [C]measurable time
And then [Am]we can trade places[G],
play [C]musical [Am]graves
Till then [C]walk away, walk a[G]way,
walk a[C]way, walk away

[Chorus 2]
[Am]So I'm up at[G] dawn,[C]
[Am]putting on m[G]y shoe[C]s
I just [F]want to [G]make a [C]clean es[Am]cape
I'm [C]leaving but I [G]don't know where [C]to
I know I'm [Am]leaving but I [G]don't know where [C]to
