[Intro]
Em G D A
Em G D A

[Verse 1]

Em-------G----------------D-------------A-----------Em
I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known
---------------G--------------D----------------A--------------Em
Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone

[Interlude]
(Em) G D A

[Verse 2]

Em----------G ----------- A-----------Em
I walk this empty street, on the boulevard of broken dreams
--------------G----------------D------------A---------------Em
Where the city sleeps, and I'm the only one and I walk alone

[Interlude]
(Em)-G-D----------A------------Em
------------I walk alone, I walk alone
(Em)-G-D---------A
------------I walk alone, I walk a….

[Chorus]

C-----G------------D-------------Em
---My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
C------G-------D---------------Em
---My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
C------G-------D----------------Em
---Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
C-------G------B7
---Till then I walk alone

[Interlude]
Em-----G------D------A--------Em
---Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah, Ahhh-Ah
---------G------D------A
---Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah, Ah-Ah

[Verse 3]

Em----------G
I'm walking down the line
D---------------A---------------Em
That divides me somewhere in my mind
----------G-----------D
On the border line of the edge
------A-------------Em
And where I walk alone

[Interlude]
(Em) G D A

[Verse 4]

Em-----G
Read between the lines
D--------------------A--------------Em
What's fucked up and everything's alright
------------G---------------D---------------A
Check my vital signs, to know I'm still alive
-----------------Em
And I walk alone

[Interlude]
(Em)-G-D----------A------------Em
------------I walk alone, I walk alone
(Em)-G-D---------A
------------I walk alone, I walk a….

[Chorus]

C-----G -----------D-------------Em
---My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
C------G-------D--------------Em
---My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
C------G-------D----------------Em
---Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
C-------G------B7
---Till then I walk alone

[Interlude]
(Em)-G-D----------A------------Em
------------I walk alone, I walk alone
(Em)-G-D---------A
------------I walk alone, I walk a….
