[Verse 1]
This time I gotta put my guard down
Lift myself up off the ground
And take the pain
It'll pass, swelling never really lasts
But the scar remains remind me
That I'm still living

[Pre-Chorus]
Well it's not too late
Oh it's really not worth the fight
No one's right
Well it's time to walk away

[Chorus]
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Well the bigger that you come
The harder you're gonna fall
Walk away
Walk away

[Verse 2]
Did you win?
Or maybe did you lose?
Now you're gonna lick your wounds anyway
Goes back to you

[Verse 3]
When you fall
You're gonna need a parachute
Or a used pair of shoes
To go and walk away

[Pre-Chorus]
Well it's not too late
Oh it's really not worth the fight
No one's right
Well it's time to walk away

[Chorus]
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Well the bigger that you come
The harder you're gonna fall
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

[Guitar solo]

[Chorus]
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

[Outro]
Well the bigger that you come
The harder you're gonna fall
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away
Walk away

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
