# Intro:
Em
                                                            G
So what I said is what I said and what you said is what you meant.
Em
And when you left my house in the morning
G
You wrote your message on the cement.
Am                                                  C
You put the letters and the numbers under people's feet.
Am                  C                         D
You took all of the dealings and feelings and wrote them on the street.

G                                   Em
And everybody, everybody, everybody knows.
G                                      Em
And when I went outside and I saw it I froze.
Am                                                   C
You put my secret and your secret under people's feet.
Am                 C                    D
Ah, you remembered what I said, and you wrote it on the fucking concrete.

Em                                              G - Em
So what we do is what we do for me and you not everyone.
                                       G
But outside in the night you were busy writing down what we had done.
Am           C                     D
You seemed alright last night, but now I know that I was wrong.

G                                   Em
And everybody, everybody, everybody knows.
G                                      Em
And when I went outside and I saw it I froze.
Am                                               C
You put my secret and your secret under people's feet.
Am                 C                    D
Ah, you remembered what I said, and you wrote it on the fucking concrete.

D Am

Em              G               Em
And I guess you know how people talk,
              G                   Am
But it's only words and it's only chalk.
              C            D
And I'll feel better maybe when we get some weather.

D F#m A D

A                                   F#m
And everybody, everybody, everybody knows.
A                                      F#m
And when I went outside and I saw it I froze.
D                                                E
You put my secret and your secret under people's feet.
D                                       E                               A
Ah, you remembered what I said, and you wrote it on the street No no no no.
           F#m
I guess you know.

E
But it's only words, and it's only talk,
                                 F#m
Oh it's only words and it's only chalk.
D                           E - D - F#m
I guess you know how people talk.

F                                           Bb              F

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

VERSE 1:   

C#m          E       B      A                     C#m   E    B   A 
I’m going away to be alone I’m coming back with answers
C#m           E            B    A            C#m   E   B   A
Don’t try to call my telephone it’s disconnected
C#m           E          B       A               C#m   E   B   A
And I don’t know where I’m going but can you guide me
C#m              E        B        A              C#m   E   B   A
But if I find love where I’m going will it survive me


PRE-CHORUS 1:

C#m            B   A                         C#m         A   B
‘Cause in your own space you’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not affected
C#m         B   A                           C#m         A   B
And in your own time you’re still attracted but in your own life


CHORUS:

A                                 C#m            B
This heart attack I’ve gotta get away not coming back
A                                 C#m                     B
I want some downtime so call me when you can and I’ll be fine


VERSE 2: [same chords as VERSE1]
I’ve found the time to be alone I don’t know what you’re asking
I’m waiting by the telephone and you’re still barking
My heart stops it isn’t… going could you revive me
I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me


PRE-CHORUS 2:  [same chords as PRE-CHORUS1]
‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time


{CHORUS x2}


Sometimes if we don’t go sometimes you don’t know
You don’t go I don’t go I don’t go you don’t go

C#5  B5  A5                      C#5  A5  B5
            I’ve got your back              but you don’t got mine
C#5  E5  A5                    C#5  A5  B5
            This heart attack              then I’m feeling fine


CHORUS x2

C#m          E       B    A 
I’m going away to be alone
C#m          E       B    A 
I'm going away to be alone ...............

                                   A                  E
Now this romantic duel is into the streets. Bon appetit.
