Lyrics
<p>I don’t know how (to watch you walk away)<br /><br />He said words have always been my friends I know<br />But sometimes there are places they can’t go<br />Mountains that they cannot climb <br />Comfort they cannot provide<br />Words can fail you when need them so<br /><br />He said I wanted her when we were still in school<br />That small steel town had forged itself a jewel<br />But nights that were not mine to keep <br />Years that fell beneath my feet<br />Are etched into the memory of a fool<br /><br />I don’t know how to watch you walk away<br />Even though I try more every day<br />Seasons turn and people change<br />Some dreams just stay out of range<br />I don’t know how to watch you walk away<br /><br />I guess she needed more than I could be<br />Less emotion more stability<br />Her children do not know my name<br />I think about them just the same<br />Faces that I doubt I’ll never see<br /><br />I don’t know how to watch you walk away<br />Even though I try more every day<br />Seasons change and people die<br />Some dreams just remain alive<br />I don’t know how to watch you walk away<br /><br />He said these memories are the ones I choose to keep<br />When morning thunder rolls across the deep<br />In the early morning rain my pillow turns to her again<br />I smell her hair and drift on back to sleep<br /><br />I don’t know how to watch you walk away<br />Even though I try more every day<br />Seasons fade and years grow cold<br />Some dreams were not made to hold<br />I don’t know how to watch you walk away</p>
<p><em>I typically play this song capo'd at 3, out of a G position, so key of Bb. Other than some embellishments with hammer-ons, it's G, C, Am, D, D7</em></p>
