A F# Bm G D G D G

[Verse]
D
I call you up on a Monday
G
You say you're fine
D                           F#
But you've been countin' the mines
Bm                            D
While you're walkin', wonderin' why
G               D     Em
The years keep flyin' by

[Verse]
D
You kept all of my paintings
G
And you taped the place
D
Now you're asking me how
     F#
I like the palm trees in A 
  Bm              D
I tell you they're okay
G            D       Em
So much that I could say

[Chorus]
A
'Cause you've been walkin' for so long
F#
While I sing the songs you gave me
Bm
Been down the road and back again
         G
Pickin' pennies from the pavement
     D
Savin' up all of your luck for me
         G
And if I haven't told you yet
      D                    Em
I felt every step of your walkin', walkin'

[Verse]
D
You got a million questions
G
And now they're all in me
D
'Cause sometimes searchin' for answers
         F#
Makes it hard to fall asleep
          Bm      D      Em
But you taught me how to dream

[Verse]
D
You say you don't like my haircut
G
Don't care if it's the style
D
I tell you I love you
            F#
And I gotta run but I
   Bm           D
I call you in a while
       G        D Em
So you go another mile

[Chorus]
A
'Cause you've been walkin' for so long
F#
While I sing the songs you gave me
  Bm
Been down the road and back again
        G
Pickin' pennies from the pavement
      D
Savin' up all of your luck for me
          G
And if I haven't told you yet
       D                   Em
I felt every step of your walkin', walkin'

[Bridge]
D                           G
And although there are time I may not show you
     D                            G
It's impossible to say how much I owe you
      Bm                   G
Even now, if I turn around, I'd see
       D                G   Em
You're still walkin' next to me

[Verse]
D
Every day it gets clearer
G
I'm a lot like you
D
And wish any luck
            F#
I'll have a son or daughter soon
    Bm            G Em
And I'll know what to do

[Chorus]
A
I'll just start walkin' and keep on
F#
While they sing the songs I gave 'em
      Bm
Like all the music you gave to me
         G
All the beauty and the rhythm
D            G
Isn't that all anyone can do?

A
You've been walkin' for so long
F#
While I sing the songs you gave me
        Bm
Been down the road and back again
       G
Pickin' pennies from the pavement
        D
Savin' up all of your luck for me
          G                    Em
And if I haven't told you yet
     G
If I haven't told you yet
        D                  Em       G
I felt every step of your walkin', walkin'
