Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
C majorC                             FF
A augmentedA million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
             G+G                C majorC
But I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling night

And as days turn into weeks and years

And years turn into lifetimes
      FF    A minorAm       G+G
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years
C majorC
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
FF            G+G
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow
C majorC
If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
     FF              G+G          C majorC
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?
      FF                 G+G
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
FF            G+G

Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness

I'm just hanging here in space


Verse 2:
C majorC
Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
FF               G+G
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
   C majorC
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
     FF             G+G
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love

C majorC
Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
FF            G+G

Around my bed

When the hand of an angel

The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head
