Lyrics

You’ve got your moth er and your (Bb6)broth er, ev ’ry oth er un der (C6)cov er tell ing you what to say.

You think I’m stu pid, but the (Bb6)truth is that it’s Cu pid, ba by; (C6)lov ing you has made me this way.

So be (G)fore you point your fin ger, get your hand off of my trig ger, oh yeah.

You need to know the sit u (Bb6)a tion’s get ting old, and now the (C6)more you talk, the less I can take.

I’m (G)look ing for at ten tion, not an oth er ques tion, should you stay or should you go?

Well, if (G)you don’t have the an swer, why you still stand ing here?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, just walk a way.

(Just walk a way.)

(Just walk a way.

I’ve wait ed here for you like (Bb6)a kid wait ing af ter school, so (C6)tell me how come you nev er showed?

I gave you ev ’ry thing and (Bb6)nev er asked for an y thing, and (C6)look at me.

So be (G)fore you start de fend ing, ba by, stop all your pre tend ing.

oh yeah.

I know you know I know, so (Bb6)what’s the point in be ing slow; let’s (C6)get this show on the road to day.

Well, if (G)you don’t have the an swer, why you still stand ing here?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, just walk a way.

I want a love, I want a fire, to feel the burn, my de sires.

Do you care for me, ’cause (Eb)if you don’t then just be lieve, I’m (G)look ing for at ten tion, not an oth er ques tion, should you stay or should you go?

Well, if (G)you don’t have the an swer, why you still stand ing here?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, just walk a way.

If (G)you don’t have the an swer,

About “Walk Away”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Walk Away"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature G. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Walk Away" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature G, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 117 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
