[Intro]
 
A  D  A  D  A  D
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
A       D
Walk in silence,
           A        D
Don't walk away, in silence.
        A
See the danger,
       D
Always danger,
        A
Endless talking,
     D
Life rebuilding,
           A
Don't walk away.
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
D E D  A D A D
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
A       D
Walk in silence,
           A        D
Don't turn away, in silence.
        A
Your confusion,
   D
My illusion,
            A
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
D
Confronts and then dies.
           A
Don't walk away.
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
D E D  A D A D
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
A                       D
People like you find it easy,
         A
Naked to see,
           D
Walking on air.
A
Hunting by the rivers, through the streets,
      D                A
Every corner abandoned too soon,
                  D
Set down with due care.
           A        D
Don't walk away, in silence,
           A
Don't walk away.
 
 
[Outro]

Don't have a clue what's wrong with the other people who commented on this, but these chords are absolutely perfect. It's the bare bones of a song that wasn't recorded on the guitar. If you play around the chords then you can have a beautiful, stripped-down acoustic version with these chords.

Don't be abused by the simplicity of the chords ! Play it slowly with a clear sound. How beautiful... You can also play at guitar in intro or outro some parts of the bass tab version 2.

it sounds ok to me played on acoustic, adjust the capo position to suit your vocal key. If you think its clearly wrong then post a correction,,Duh!!!
