C A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right F G But I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling night And as days turn into weeks and years And years turn into lifetimes 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 You'd be walking in a great circle, G a circle of addiction C Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black? F You see yourself in a looking glass G with a tombstone on your back Chorus: 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 Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love Chorus All this wandering has led me to this place Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness I'm just hanging here in space Cm G# The shadows fall F Around my bed Em Fm When the hand of an angel Em Fm G F# The hand of an angel is reaching down Bm G A above my head All this wandering has led me to this place Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness Now I'm walking in his grace Now I'm walking in his grace A I'm walking in his footsteps Walking in his footsteps - x2 D G A All the days of my life I will walk with you (x2) D G Bm A All the days of my life I will share with you D G Bm A All the days of my life I will bear with you D Walk away in anger, walk away in pain Em A D Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  Cm  D  Dm  E  Em  F  Fm  F#  G  G#  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
