Elton John - Easier To Walk Away

A# F
every time you turn around
Gm A#
you wear another face
D#
every time i look away
A# A#4
i find a hiding place

A# F
if you knew me like you knew him
Gm
you would know just how i feel
D#
slipping through someone’s fingers
A#
falling under someone’s wheels

F
it’s easier to walk away
Gm
better off to face the facts
Cm G#
when love holds you up for ransom
F A# A#4
walk away and don’t look back

A# F
never seen you looking back through
Gm A#
smiling eyes and tears
D#
never knew you holding on to
A# A#4
memories and fears
A# F
just release me i can’t take it
Gm
can’t you see a change has come
D#
strangled by infatuation
A#
buried under someone’s thumb

F
it’s easier to walk away
Gm
better off to face the facts
Cm G#
when love holds you up for ransom
F A# A#4
walk away and don’t look back

A# F
it’s easier to walk away
Gm
cover and fade to black
Cm G#
when love scars and leaves you branded
F A# F – Gm Cm – G# F – A#
