WALK AWAY

I was na (Em)ive;

your love was like (C7)can dy.

Ar ti fi cial ly (Em)sweet,

I was de ceived by the (C7)wrap ping.

Got caught in your (Em)web,

and I learned how to (C7)bleed.

I was prey in your (Em)bed,

and de voured com (C7)plete ly.

Oh, and it (Em)hurts my soul, ’cause I (G)can’t let go.

All these (Am)walls are cav ing in; I (Am)can’t (C)stop my suf fer ring.

I hate to show that I’ve lost con trol, ’cause I, I keep go ing right back (Am)to the (C)one thing that I need...

to (Em)walk a way from,

yeah.

(I (Em)need to get a way from ya, need to walk a way from ya, (C7)get a way, walk a way, walk a way.) Now, I should have (Em)known

that I was used for a (C7)muse ment.

Could n’t see through the (Em)smoke;

it was all an il (C7)lu sion.

Now I’ve been (Em)lick ing my wounds,

but the ven om seeps (C7)deep er.

We both can se (Em)duce,

but dar ling, you hold me (C7)pris ’ner.

Oh, I’m a (Em)bout to break;

I can’t (G)stop this ache.

I’m ad (Am)dict ed to your al lure, and (Am)I’m (C)fiend in’ for a cure.

Ev ’ry step I take leads to one mis take.

I keep go ing right back (Am)to the (C)one thing that I need, (C)oh.

I can’t mend this torn (G)state I’m in, get ting (Am)noth ing in re turn.

What (Am)did (C)I do to de serve

the pain of this slow burn?

And ev ’ry where I turn I keep go ing right back (Am)to the (C)one thing that I need...

to (Em)walk a way from,

yeah.

(I need to get a way from ya, need to walk a way from ya.) Ev ’ry time I try to grasp for air, I am smoth ered (B7)in de spair; it’s (B7)nev er (Em)o ver, o (B7)ver, (Em)uh, uh.

It seems I’ll nev er wake from this night mare; I let out a (B7)si lent prayer: “Let (B7)it be (Em)o ver, o (B7)ver,”

ooh.

In side, I’m scream ing, beg gin, plead ing: “No more!”

(Ah, Now, what to (Em)oh.)

My heart has been (C7)bruised.

So sad, but it’s (Em)true;

each beat re minds me of you.
