I Just Walked Away Tony Joe White
[G]I walked [C]out of your apartment, I left you
sleeping [D]on your [G]bed.
I [D]wanted to look back over [G]my [F]shoulder, [C]but
I did not turn my [G]head.
[G]We had a good [C]arrangement, yes, we did.
But now I felt the need to [G]move.
[D]But [Gbm]things had not worked [G]out like I [Em]planned,
[D]cause I've be[C]come attached to [G]you.
CHORUS:
[D]There was no [G]way to [D]tell you, baby, [Em7]all the
things I had to [D]say..so, I [Em]just walked away.
INTERLUDE: Am Em D Em D
Mistin' [G]rain had started [C]falling, [D]the [C]kind
that chills you [Gbm]to the [G]bone.[D]
[G]And I [D]had a soulful [F]feeling, [C]but it did not
stay too [G]long.
Oh, I knew I had it [C]coming, but I believe it'd
come and [G]gone.
[D]And this lonesome [G]feeling in[Em]side me, [D]makes me
[C]know I stayed too [G]long.
CHORUS:
[D]There was no [G]way to [D]tell you, baby, [Em7]all the
things I had to [D]say..so, I [Em]just walked away.
INTERLUDE: Em Bb Em A Em
[Em]I left you baby, [D]ooooo, I [Em]hated to go, [D]but I [Em]just
could not explain the way I felt about it.
[Am]Oooo, [Em]baby, ooo, I left you, I hated to leave you
sleeping [D]on your [Em]bed, when you needed me most.
[Am]Ooo, I left [Em]you.
A [B]mistin' [Em]rain was falling, the kind that chills
you when you [Am]need some[Em]body to lay beside you.
And that's the [E]time that I [Em]picked to leave you
and I hated to go.
[Em]But it just couldn't tell you the way I felt about
the situation.
OUTRO:
[Em]Oooo, ooo, baby, I wanted so bad to find some [A]way
of [Em]just coming out and telling you that I did not
want to love you so much.
Oh, but I just couldn't, so I [Em7]just walked a[Em]way.
