[Intro]
G G/B Em7/C x2
Am C D x2

[Verse 1]
G                   C
Some folk leave you courage,
D                   Bm
some folk leave you hope
Am C                 G
   Why am I out here hangin',
       C                     D
like a fool on the end of my rope
G                      C
Some folk leave you wisdom,
D                   Bm
some folk throw you signs
Am        C                       G
  You can never be sure what went on
        C                        D
before, life is just a matter of time

[Pre-Chorus]
Em          Am   Em          Am
Pictures of you, clouding my view

[Chorus]
    G                 C
I'm following in your footsteps,
D                               Bm
tryin' to make some sense of it all
Am C                    G
   Maybe it's a sign of weakness,
       C                         D
   but that's where my footsteps fall
    G                 C
I'm following in your footsteps,
D                         Bm
tryin' to hold on to your dreams
Am C                      G
   You never got what you wanted,
      C                  G
   so I never got what I need
    C                 G
I'm following in your footsteps,
       C                 D
'cause that's where your footsteps
G   G/B Em7/C
lead

[Verse 2]
G                              C
Someone must have left me anger,
D                          Bm
someone must have given me hate
Am   C                      G
  Or why would I stand here shakin',
               C                  D
  when there's so many chances to take

[Pre-Chorus]
Em          Am   Em         Am
Pictures of you, climb into view
