D G
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
D A7
Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me
D G
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall
D A7 D
And life without your love just isn't life at all
G
So walk out backwards if you must go
A7 D
But please don't wave goodbye, Just wave one last hello
G
The truth won't hurt so much, If I can just pretend,
A7 D
So walk out backwards, And I'll think you're walking in
G
Well, you walked into my heart in search of sympathy
D A7
And from that day down to this, You've walked all over me
D G
And now you're walking out to love somebody new
D A7 D
But you're not by yourself, 'Cause my heart's leaving too
G
So walk out backwards if you must go
A7 D
But please don't wave goodbye, Just wave one last hello
G
The truth won't hurt so much, If I can just pretend,
A7 D
So walk out backwards, And I'll think you're walking in
