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

SOLO

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
