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
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
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
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
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
