Walking By - Something Corporate
C G Am F
Your granddad left home for the circus
C G Am F
He was young just like me, with hopes to explore
C G Am F
He married a girl in Virginia
C G Am F C G Am F
She could swing the trapeze; they could sleep on the floor.
C G Am F
Your mother was born in December
C G Am F
On the one sunny day that winter gave up
C G Am F
She had warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies
C G
When she stared at the world.
C Dm Em F Am F
So why do you leave these stories unfinished
C G Am F
My Cheshire cat doorstop, with tears in her eyes?
C Dm Em F Am F
Why do you look when you’ve already found me?
C G Am F C G Am F
What did you find that could leave you, walking by?
C G Am F
She was raised in a new England village
C G Am F
Then she moved to LA with her firefly stare
C G Am F
And you loved 'Sunset Strip' when it sparkled
C G Am F
You grew up and you sparkled, but why won’t you care.
C Dm Em F Am F
So why do you leave these stories unfinished
C G Am F
My Cheshire cat doorstop, with tears in her eyes?
C Dm Em F Am F
Why do you look when you’ve already found me?
C G Am F C G Am F
What did you find that could leave you, walking by?
C G Am F
These nights I get high just from breathing
C G Am F
When I lie here with you, I’m sure that I’m real
C G Am F
Like that firework over the freeway
C G Am F
I could stay here all day but that’s not how you feel
C Dm Em F Am F
So why do you leave these questions unanswered?
C G Am F
The circus awaits and you’re already gone
C G Am F
My Cheshire cat doorstop with fear in her smile
C G Am F C G Am F
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
C G Am F
And what did I do that you can’t seem to want me
C G Am F
Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
C Dm Em F Am F
Where can I go that your pictures won’t haunt me
C G Am F C G Am F
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?
