Walk of Shame


Capo on 3

Intro:

Em    G   Em    G 
                

Em             
Black coffee
       G           
from a dirty cup.
Em            
Head aching
       G             Em 
as the day wakes up. 
A7         Am7           Em        
Last night lingers on my tongue.

Half-way home
     G            
in a small cafe.
Em              
Clear my head
         G          Em 
then I'm on my way. 
A7 Am7                G     
I  take the Walk of shame.


Chorus:
         B  
Passers by
C             Cm            
catching each others eye;
  G        B       
delighting in our
     C         Cm     
not so secret lies.
G         B       
Walk of shame - 
C           Cm            
I'm on that road again.
G      A7       
Memory fades;
Am7        
was it 
            Em     G 
such a good night? 

Em    G 
      

Em           
Cold water
         G             
dripping off my face.
Em           
Woke up - 
        G            Em 
an unfamiliar place; 
A7           Am7                Em    
the smell of lust hangs in the air.

Still early,
      G                
I get fumble-dressed.
Em           
Last kiss,
                G          Em 
then leave with no regrets 
A7   Am7                G     
as I take the walk of shame.


Chorus:
         B  
Passers by
C             Cm            
catching each others eye;
  G        B       
delighting in our
     C         Cm     
not so secret lies.
G         B       
Walk of shame - 
C           Cm            
I'm on that road again.
G      A7       
Memory fades;
Am7        
was it 
            Em       
such a good night?


Bridge:

C      B            Em         
Loving without a connection.
C        B             Em         
Leaving; no time for affection.
    C      B             Em        
The ritual becomes the religion:
  D       B              Em         
habitual; it feeds the addiction.


Cheap whisky
       G             
got us in the mood.
Em        
At hers
         G            Em 
together in the nude; 
A7       Am7                 Em      
I run my fingers through her hair.

A whisper
         G           
followed by a kiss.
Em           
A shudder;
     G           Em 
momentary bliss. 
A7                 Am7              G    
Then thoughts turn to the walk of shame


Chorus:
         B  
Passers by
C             Cm            
catching each others eye;
  G        B       
delighting in our
     C         Cm     
not so secret lies.
G         B       
Walk of shame - 
C           Cm            
I'm on that road again.
G      A7       
Memory fades;
Am7        
was it 
            Em        
such a good night? 

C   B   Em
