vamp:
:( [C]/ / /[F/] / )([G/] / [Gm/]/ / / )([F/] / /[Fm/] / / )( [C]/ / / / ):
It'll catch your e[C]ye[F/], [G/] dra[Gm/]wing you [F/]in to [Fm/]stop you c[C]old[F][C]
A little shine,[F/] [G/] yea, but [Gm/]all that [F/]glitters isn't[Fm/] always g[C]old
CHORUS
[F]Bowing at the feet of tempt[C]ation, [F]gazing in the windows of w[G]him
You see the [F/C]pleasure that has got you st[C]anding still
But there's [F/C]more to that than meets the e[C]ye
Don't l[F]et it hold you there a[Fm2]gainst your will
Better walk on [C]by[F/], [G/] y[Gm/]ea, [F/] better [Fm/]walk on [C]by
It'll do more harm than it does good, go while you still can
'Cause it'll twist your arm and have you eating from the palm of its hand
And favoring a fatal attraction
Will take you down a piece at a time
And giving in will only leave you wanting more
It'll haunt you 'till the day you die
Yea, believe me, I've been there before
Better walk on by, yea, walk on by
[G]Focus on the treasure, h[F2]eaven knows the pleasure
[C]Waiting for t[/D]hose [/E]who w[F]ait
[G]Straighter than an arrow, t[F2]raveling that narrow [Eb]road
[Dm7/G]Listen to your heartbeat, faith can move your clay fee[Eb2]t
VAMP (2x)
Better to walk on by
CHORUS
repeat VAMP ad lib and fade
