Tony Joe White - I just walked away

^GI walked ^Cout of your apartment, I left you sleeping ^Don your ^Gbed. I ^Dwanted to look back over ^Gmy ^Fshoulder, ^Cbut I did not turn my ^Ghead.

^GWe had a good ^Carrangement, yes, we did. But now I felt the need to ^Gmove. ^DBut ^Gbmthings had not worked ^Gout like I ^Emplanned, ^Dcause I've be^Ccome attached to ^Gyou.

^DThere was no ^Gway to ^Dtell you, baby, ^Em7all the things I had to ^Dsay..so, I ^Emjust walked away.

Mistin' ^Grain had started ^Cfalling, ^Dthe ^Ckind that chills you ^Gbmto the ^Gbone.^{D G}And I ^Dhad a soulful ^Ffeeling, ^Cbut it did not stay too ^Glong. Oh, I knew I had it ^Ccoming, but I believe it'd come and ^Ggone. ^DAnd this lonesome ^Gfeeling in^Emside me, ^Dmakes me ^Cknow I stayed too ^Glong.

^DThere was no ^Gway to ^Dtell you, baby, ^Em7all the things I had to ^Dsay..so, I ^Emjust walked away.

^EmI left you baby, ^Dooooo, I ^Emhated to go, ^Dbut I ^Emjust could not explain the way I felt about it. ^AmOooo, ^Embaby, ooo, I left you, I hated to leave you sleeping ^Don your ^Embed, when you needed me most. ^AmOoo, I left ^Emyou.

A ^Bmistin' ^Emrain was falling, the kind that chills you when you ^Amneed some^Embody to lay beside you. And that's the ^Etime that I ^Empicked to leave you

^EmBut it just couldn't tell you the way I felt about the situation.

^EmOooo, ooo, baby, I wanted so bad to find some ^Away of ^Emjust coming out and telling you that I did not

Oh, but I just couldn't, so I ^Em7just walked a^Emway.
