E
I (I am just a number)
And I (hang on to what I got)
You (say what you want to)
And I, I, I, I (just try to stay alive)
I put myself together
People say, get away, somebody will turn you in
Life, life without surrender
Togetherness, ecstasy is what I need

C
I can laugh, but I should cry
D
When love and understanding are the ultimate crimes

Chorus:
             G
And I said, walk it down, talk it down
D          G
Ooooo-ooo sympathy, luxury
D             C
Somebody will take you the-ere
G
Walk it down, talk it down
D          G
Ooooo-ooo sympathy, luxury
D              C
Somebody will take you the-ere

She (says she remembers)
Time (long time ago)
We (belong together)
And I, I, I, I (turn up the radio)
Lies, lies and propaganda
I, gonna tell you what I need
Life, life without surrender
Togetherness, ecstasy is what I need
I got yours and you got mine
And I can swim, but I should fly

Chorus:
Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there
Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there

A#                  Fm
Ain’t no crime to believe
D#             Gm
I took my money, I bet my life
A#                       Fm
What you see is what you get
C                       D
But it sure ain’t what we need.

Chorus:
Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there
Walk it down, talk it down
Oh, oh, oh
Sympathy, luxury
Somebody will take you there
(Walk it down, talk it down) hey, hey, hey!
(Oh, oh, oh) oh
(Sympathy, luxury) woo!
Somebody will take you there
