"Walk Away" by Squeeze (Difford/Tilbrook)
Intro G Bm G Bm
[G]A black and white photograph
of [Bm]me up the garden path
[G]wrapped up in my football scarf
it [Bm]sits here in my hand
[G]and there mother smothered me
and [Bm]how she would mother me
she [G]knew how to suffer me
like [Bm]all mothers can
[F]Now she is [C]everywhere
the [Am]comb that runs through [Ab]my hair
[Eb]my posture [Cm]on a chair
but [G]that's not who I am
[G] [Bm] [G] [Bm]
[G]He ran from the arguments
and [Bm]sat on the garden fence
and [G]lived in the passing tense
that [Bm]fell from her lips
[G]he tended the house so well
and [Bm]each time she rang his bell
he'd [G]climb back from where he fell
and [Bm]gathered his wits
[F]Now I fear the [C]mold is mine
a [Am]vibration [Ab]shakes my spine
[Eb]as I walk the [Cm]crooked line
re[G]ality hits
CHORUS
So let me walk [E]free from you[G][C][A]
I know that you [E]want me to[G][C][A]
let me try [E]something new[G][C][A]
let me walk a[Bb]way
[Bb]If it's not one thing it's your mother
[F]how I love her [C]how I love her
[C]how I love her
[Bb]but it's not so easy to say
[F]please won't you let me walk away
let me [C]walk away let me [A]walk away
INSTRUMENTAL
[A] [C#m] [Em] [Bm] [A] [C#m] [Em] [Bm]
[A]So let me walk on my own
and [C#m]finish my ice cream cone
if [Em]we are to make it home
then [Bm]all will be well
[A]look see I'm a father now
I'm [C#m]raising my own eyebrow
and [Em]being in my own row
and [Bm]making life hell
[F]This is me see [C]here I am
[Am]doing the best [Ab]that I can
[Eb]this life has a [Cm]subtle plan
but [G]you couldn't tell
REPEAT CHORUS
