[Intro 1]
[Csus4][C][Am][Csus4][C][Am][Gsus4]
[Csus4]
A million [C]footsteps, this

[Verse 1]
[C]
left foot drags behind my right
[F]But I keep walking,
from [Gsus4]daybreak â??til the fall[G]ing night
[Csus4]And as days turn into week
[C]s and years
And years turn into lifetimes
I just keep walk[F]ing,
like [Am]I've been walk[G]ing for a thousand years

[Verse 2]
[Csus4]Walk away in emptiness,
[C]walk away in sorrow,
[F]Walk away from yesterday,
[Am]walk[Gsus4] away tomorrow,
[G]If

[Verse 3]
[Csus4]you're walking to escape,
[C]to escape from your affliction
You'd be walk[F]ing in a great circle,
[Gsus4]a circle [G]of addiction
[Csus4]Did you ever wonde[C]r what you'd been carrying
since the world was black?
You see yourself [F]in a looking glass [Am]with
a tomb[G]stone on your back
[Csus4]Walk away in emptiness,

[Verse 4]
[Csus4]
[C]walk away in [Csus2]sorrow,
[C]Wal[F]k away from yesterday,
[Gsus4]walk away tomorrow,[G]
[Csus4]Walk away in anger,
[F]wal[Dm]k away in [C]pain
[F]Walk away from life itself,
[Am]walk[Gsus4] into the rain[G][Am]

[Verse 5]
[F]All this [G]wandering [Em]has[C][F]
led [Dm]me to th[Gsus4]is place[G]
Inside [E]the well of my [Am]memory,
sweet [F]rain of for[Fm]giveness[Em]
I'm just [F]hanging here in [G]space[Gm][G]

[Verse 6]
[Csus4]Now I'm suspended[C] between my
darkest fears and dearest hope
[F]Yes I've been walking,
now I'm [Gsus4]hanging from a dead man's r[G]ope[Em]
[Csus4]With Hell below me,[C]
and Heaven in the sky above
I've been walk[F]ing,
I've been walk[Gsus4]ing away from Jesus[G]' love

[Verse 7]
[Csus4]Walk away in emptiness,
[C]walk away in [Csus2]sorrow,[Gsus4]
[F]Walk away from yesterday,
[Gsus4]walk away tomorrow,[F][Em]
[C]Walk away in anger, [Csus2]walk away in p[C]ain
[F]Walk away from life itself,
[G]walk [Am]into [F]the rain

[Verse 8]
All this [G]wander[Em] ing [C]has [F]led
[Dm]me to th[Gsus4]is place[G]
Inside [E]the well of my [Am]memory,
sweet [F]rain of for[Fm]giveness[Em]
I'm just [F]hanging here in
[G]space[Gm][G]
[Gm]

[Verse 9]
[Ab]
The [C]shadows [Csus2]fall
[C][Csus2][Ab]
Around [G]my [F]bed
When [Em]the hand [C]of an an [Fm]gel,
The [C]hand of [Fm]an ang[D]el i[G]s reaching
[F#]down [Bm]above my he[G]ad

[Verse 10]
[A]All this [D]wan[G]dering
has led [Em]me to this p[Asus4]lace
[A]Inside the wel[Bbdim]l of my memory,[B]
[Bm]sweet [G]rain of for[Gm]giveness[G]
Now I'm walking in his grace
[Asus4][A][F#m]
