Intro: Em G D A (2x)  

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

Bridge 1:
  
         G                    D  
I walk alone  I walk alone  
          A5         B5  
I walk Alone    I walk a...  

 C5   G5                 D5                   E5   
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me,   
C5  G5         D5                      E5      
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating   
C5     G5        D5                            E5     
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me   
C5   G5      B5  
Ttill then I walk alone  

Bridge 2:  

Em     G   
Ah-ah, ah-ah  
D        A  
Ah-ah, ah-ah (bis)  

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

         G  
Read between the lines  
       D                              A                     Em  
of what's fucked up and everything's alright  
                 G  
Check my vital signs  
     D  
to know I'm still alive  
                  Em  
And I walk Alone  

(Bridge 1)  

(Chorus)  

(Bridge 1) Once  

Em          G                    D                  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
