[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

[Ulangi Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
                      C   Cm Ab
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 ...dering has led...
