When You Walk Away

 C#m     G#m         A           E
Here by your side, The candle flickering
C#m     G#m            A         B
The t.v.'s still on, But you're not listening
C#m     G#m                 A         E
So I reach for your hand, And the smile that brings
F#m             G#m          A
A whisper,    Asking me to sing
    E                B     A                 E
Oh,when you walk away, Oh darling, when you walk away
    F#m                      A                            E
Don't turn around to me, 'Cause I don't want you to see, Me this way
C#m     G#m         A         E
Tremble at first, My voice it comes so hard
C#m          G#m         A         B
I don't want you to see, Me come apart
C#m     G#m                A           E
And then it all opens up, When you show me your heart
F#m             G#m          A
Rising up, To push away the dark
E                 B        A                       E
Oh, when you walk away, Oh darling, when you walk away
F#m                       A                         E
Don't turn around to me, Cause I don't want you to see
F#m                              A
Me this way All the things I feel inside
                       E                      B
All the anger that is mine, What a tearful lullaby
F#m                     A
But you brush those tears aside
                            C#m               A              B
How can one that's laid so low, Lift me up so high? Where do I go

C#m           G#m                    A         E
To try and put things right? And if I tear out my heart
C#m         G#m           A        B
Will the stars ignite? And to whom do I rage
C#m           G#m                 A               E
Against the dying of the light? On this a long day's
F#m              G#m            A
journey,        Into          night
E                   B       A                      E
Oh, when you walk away, Oh darling, when you walk away
F#m                        A                              E
Don't turn around to me, Cause I don't want you to see, Me this way

C#m           G#m              A         E
Somewhere I'm told, There is a world of grace
C#m              G#m             A          B
That will take those hard lines, From your face
C#m           G#m              A         E
But until that day comes,I'll be right here in my place
F#m              G#m            A
Just a man,     Just a kiss,   Just in case
