Standard Tuning

              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, walking away

         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

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

The Kremlin's falling

The stab of stiletto

On a silent night

        E
Mao Tse-Tung
