[Verse 1]
CA million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my rightF  
But I keep walking, from Gdaybreak 'til the falling nightC  
And as days turn into weeks and years
And years turn into lifetimes
I just keep Fwalking, Amlike I've been wGalking for a thousand years
CWalk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
FWalk away from yesterdayG, walk away tomorrow
CIf you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
You'd be Fwalking in a great circle, a Gcircle of addictionC  
Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
You see yourFself in a looking glass with a tombGstone on your back
[Chorus 1]
CWalk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow
FWalk away from yesterdayG, walk away tomorrow (Walk Away...)
CWalk away in anger, walk away in pain
FWalk away from life itselfG, walk into the rain

AmAll Fthis GwandeEmring Fhas Dmled me to this Gplace
Inside the Ewell of my meAmmory, sweet Frain of forgivFmenessEm  
I'm just Fhanging here in Gspace
[Verse 2]
CNow I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
FYes I've been walking, now I'm Ghanging from a dead man's rope
With CHell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
I've been Fwalking, I've been walking Gaway from Jesus' love
[Chorus 1]
