Bb                                 Eb
I'd rather live a life of lies and fantasy
Bb                                        F
Than to face the truth and realize you're leaving me
    Bb             Bb7                  Eb
You built me up so high my heart can't stand to fall
    Bb                  F                     Bb
And life without your love just isn't life at all
                                  Eb
So walk out backwards if you must go
                 F
But please don't wave goodbye
                   Bb
Just wave one last hello
                        
The truth won't hurt so much
         Eb
If I can just pretend
            F
So walk out backwards
                              Bb
And I'll think you're walking in

Bb                                          Eb
Well, you walked into my heart in search of sympathy
    Bb
And from that day down to this
                  F
You've walked all over me
    Bb                 Bb7                 Eb
And now you're walking out to love somebody new
Bb                F
But you're not by yourself
                  Bb
'Cause my heart's leaving too
                                  Eb
So walk out backwards if you must go
                 F
But please don't wave goodbye
                   Bb
Just wave one last hello
                             Bb7
The truth won't hurt so much
         Eb
If I can just pretend
            F
So walk out backwards
                              Bb
And I'll think you're walking in
            F
So walk out backwards
                              Bb
And I'll think you're walking in
