Am     D         G          C Em Am
Lover, will you look at me now?
             D
I'm already dead to you
G                       C                  Em
But I'm inclined to explain to you what I could
      Am
not before
              D                   G
Whatever you didn't do, what you couldn't say
      C              Em           Am
I am sorry that the worst has arrived
               D
For I deserve more
        G                      C         Em      Am
For at least I deserve the respect of a kiss goodbye

Tell me, do you think of me now
As I think of you?
For I could not have shaken
The touch of your breath on my arm

For it has stayed in me as an epithet
I am sorry the worst has arrived
For I'm on the floor
In the room where we made it our last
touch of the night

Chorus:
         D                   G
I walked, because you walked
             C        Em       Am
But I won't probably get very far
         D               G
Sensation to what you said
              C         Em            Am
But I'm not about to expect something more
           D            G
I would not have run off
                C              Em           Am
But I couldn't bear that it's me, it's my fault
            D          G
I should not be so lost
              C       Em      Am
But I've got nothing left to love

Lover, will you look from me now
I'm already dead
But I've come to explain
Why I left such a mess on the floor

For when you went away I went crazy
I was wild with the breast of a dog
I ran through the night
With a knife in my chest,
with the lust of your loveless life

Chorus:
I walked, cause you walked
But I won't probably get very far
Sensation to what you said
But I'm not about to expect something more

I would not have run off
But I couldn't bear that it's me, it's my fault
I should not be so lost
But I've got nothing left to love

        D                   G C Em Am
I walked, because you walked - x7
