Walk of Shame


    Intro:

    Gm    A#    Gm    A#


    Gm
    Black coffee
    A#
    from a dirty cup.
    Gm
    Head aching
    A#            Gm
    as the day wakes up.
    C7         Cm7           Gm
    Last night lingers on my tongue.

    Half-way home
    A#
    in a small cafe.
    Gm
    Clear my head
    A#         Gm
    then I'm on my way.
    C7 Cm7                A#
    I  take the Walk of shame.


    Chorus:
    D
    Passers by
    D#            D#m
    catching each others eye;
    A#       D
    delighting in our
    D#        D#m
    not so secret lies.
    A#        D
    Walk of shame -
    D#          D#m
    I'm on that road again.
    A#     C7
    Memory fades;
    Cm7
    was it
    Gm     A#
    such a good night?

    Gm    A#


    Gm
    Cold water
    A#
    dripping off my face.
    Gm
    Woke up -
    A#           Gm
    an unfamiliar place;
    C7           Cm7                Gm
    the smell of lust hangs in the air.

    Still early,
    A#
    I get fumble-dressed.
    Gm
    Last kiss,
    A#         Gm
    then leave with no regrets
    C7   Cm7                A#
    as I take the walk of shame.


    Chorus:
    D
    Passers by
    D#            D#m
    catching each others eye;
    A#       D
    delighting in our
    D#        D#m
    not so secret lies.
    A#        D
    Walk of shame -
    D#          D#m
    I'm on that road again.
    A#     C7
    Memory fades;
    Cm7
    was it
    Gm
    such a good night?


    Bridge:

    D#     D            Gm
    Loving without a connection.
    D#       D             Gm
    Leaving; no time for affection.
    D#     D             Gm
    The ritual becomes the religion:
    F       D              Gm
    habitual; it feeds the addiction.


    Cheap whisky
    A#
    got us in the mood.
    Gm
    At hers
    A#           Gm
    together in the nude;
    C7       Cm7                 Gm
    I run my fingers through her hair.

    A whisper
    A#
    followed by a kiss.
    Gm
    A shudder;
    A#          Gm
    momentary bliss.
    C7                 Cm7              A#
    Then thoughts turn to the walk of shame


    Chorus:
    D
    Passers by
    D#            D#m
    catching each others eye;
    A#       D
    delighting in our
    D#        D#m
    not so secret lies.
    A#        D
    Walk of shame -
    D#          D#m
    I'm on that road again.
    A#     C7
    Memory fades;
    Cm7
    was it
    Gm
    such a good night?

    D#    D   Gm
