Chords and lyrics for Landlocked Blues by Bright Eyes
If y
C
ou walk away, I’ll walk
G
away
C
First te
C
ll me which road you
G
will
take
C
I do
Am
n’t want to ris
G
k our paths crossing s
C
ome
day
Am
So yo
C
u walk that way, I’ll walk thi
G
s
way
C
And the future
C
hangs over our hea
G
ds
C
And it move
C
s with each current event
G
C
Unti
Am
l it falls all a
G
round like a cold st
C
eady
rain
Am
Just st
C
ay in when it’s looking t
G
his
way
C
And the moon’s
C
laying low in the sk
G
y
C
Forcing every
C
thing metal to sh
G
ine
C
And the sidewa
Am
lk holds diamonds li
G
ke the jewelry store case
C
Am
They argue
C
walk this way, now walk this way
G
C
And Laura
C
‘s asleep in my
G
bed
C
As I’m leavin
C
g she wakes up and s
G
ays
C
“I drea
Am
med you were carried a
G
way on the crest of a wave
C
Am
Baby don
C
‘t go away, come here”
G
C
And there’s kids p
C
laying guns in the st
G
reet
C
And ones pointi
C
ng his tree branch
G
at
me
C
So I put
Am
my hands up I say
G
“enough is en
C
ough,
Am
If yo
C
u walk away, I’ll walk
G
away”
C
Am
I found a l
G
iquid
c
C
ure
Am
From my lan
G
dlocked
blues
C
It’ll pa
F
ss
awa
G
y like a slow par
C
ade
Am
It’s le
C
aving but I don’
G
t know how soon
C
And the world
C
‘s got me dizzy a
G
gain
C
You think after 22 years I’d
C
be used to the spin
G
C
And it
Am
only feels worse
G
when I stay in one
C
place
Am
So I’m always pacing around
C
or walking away
G
C
I keep drink
C
ing the ink from
G
my
pen
C
And I’m balanci
C
ng history boo
G
ks up on my head
C
But it all
Am
boils
do
G
wn to one quotable p
C
hrase
Am
If you lov
C
e something, give it aw
G
ay
C
A good woman
C
will pick you apart
G
C
A box full
C
of suggestions
G
for your possible heart
C
But you may b
Am
e
offende
G
d and you may be afr
C
aid
Am
But don
C
‘t walk away, don’t walk
G
away
C
We made love on
C
the living room f
G
loor
C
With the noise in
C
the background
G
of a televised war
C
And in the deafening
Am
pleasure
G
I thought I heard someone say
C
Am
“If we
C
walk away, they’ll wa
G
lk
away”
C
But gree
C
d is a bottom
G
less
pit
C
And our freedo
C
m’s a joke we’re j
G
ust taking a piss
C
And the whole
Am
world must watch
G
the sad comic display
C
Am
If you’r
C
e still free star
G
t running away
C
I’ve grown tired o
C
f holding thi
G
s
post
C
I feel mor
C
e like a stranger
G
each time I come hom
C
e
So I’m
Am
making
a
G
deal with the
C
devils
of
Am
faith
Saying “
C
let me walk away,
G
please”
C
You’ll be free ch
C
ild once you
G
have
died
C
From the shackle
C
s of language and
G
immeasurable
time
C
And then we c
Am
an trade
G
places, play musical grace
C
Am
Till the
C
n walk away, walk away
G
C
Am
So I’m up a
G
t
dawn
C
Am
Putting on
G
my
shoe
C
s
I just w
F
ant to make
G
a clean esc
C
ape
Am
Am
I’m
leaving
G
but I
C
don’t know where to
