[Verse 1]
C F
A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
G C
But I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling night
And as days turn into weeks and years
And years turn into lifetimes
F Am G
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years
C
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
F G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow
C
If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
F G C
You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction
Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
F G
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back
[Chorus 1]
C
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
F G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow (Walk Away...)
C
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
F G
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
[Chorus 2]
Am F G Em F Dm G
All this wandering has led me to this place
E Am F Fm Em
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
F G
I'm just hanging here in space
[Verse 2]
C
Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
F G
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
C
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
F G
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love
[Chorus 1]
C
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
F G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow (Walk Away...)
C
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
F G
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
[Chorus 2]
Am F G Em F Dm G
All this wandering has led me to this place
E Am F Fm Em
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
F G Cm
I'm just hanging here in space
[Bridge]
C Cm G#
The shadows fall
F
Around my bed
Em Fm D
When the hand of an angel
Em Fm G F#
The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head
[Chorus 2]
A F#m G Em A
All this wandering has led me to this place
A# B G Gm F# G
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
A
Now I'm walking in his grace
A
I'm walking in his footsteps
Walking in his footsteps [x2]
[Bridge]
D G A
All the days of my life I will walk with you [2x]

All the days of my life I will share with you

All the days of my life I will bear with you
[Chorus 1]
D
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Em A D
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain
