Walking By - Something Corporate
G D Em
Your granddad left home for the circus
G D Em C
He was young just like me, with hopes to explore
G D Em C
He married a girl in Virginia
G D C G D Em
She could swing the trapeze; they could sleep on the floor.
G D Em
Your mother was born in December
G D Em C
On the one sunny day that winter gave up
G D Em C
She had warm summer eyes that flickered like fireflies
G D
When she stared at the world.
G Am Bm C Am C
So why do you leave these stories unfinished
G Am Bm C Am C
My Cheshire cat doorstop, with tears in her eyes?
G Am Bm C Am C
Why do you look when you’ve already found it?
G Am Bm C Am C G Am Bm C Am
What did you find that could leave you walking by?
G D Em
She was raised in a new England village
G D Em C
Then she moved to LA with her firefly stare
G D Em C
And you loved 'Sunset Strip' when it sparkled
G D
You grew up and you sparkled, but why won’t you care.

These nights I get high just from breathing

Like that firework over the freeway
G D
I could stay here all day but that’s not how you feel

The circus awaits, and you're already gone

What makes is so easy for you to be walking by?
G Am Bm C Am C
And what did I do that you can’t seem to want me

Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?

Where can I go that your pictures won’t haunt me
