[Verse 1]
            Em
It may be a phone call late at night
     C                  D               Em
That wakes my heart and brings me to my knees
                Em
It could be the hurt that's in your eyes
     C                    D           Em
That shakes my soul from all complacency
     D     G           Am7
But, oh, I want you to know
     D       G      C                 F
That I will be the one who prays for you


[Verse 2]
              Em
It may be the presence of your past
     C                D              Em
That haunts your very will to just believe
                Em
It may seem the weight of all the world
    C                        D                Em
Has crushed your dreams and laid them at your feet
     D     G           Am7
But, oh, I want you to know
     D       G     Em                Dsus4  D
That I will be a friend to see you through


[Chorus]
           G
For I will walk the extra mile
         Am7
When the road ahead seems long
       D            Em     D
I will share those lonely silent nights
     G
That pass without a song
Em                D
Knowing that the darkness
       C
Is but for a little while
     Am7                    D
For you, my friend, I will walk
                       Em7
I will walk the extra mile


[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
D             Em
It may be the mention of your name
     C                D          Em
That brings a smile into my busy day
              Em
It could be a place we've been before
     C               D            Em
That echoes all the tender words you'd say
     D     G             Am7
But, oh, I want you to know
     D       G     Em                F         Dsus4  D
That I have never had a friend like you, like you


[Chorus]
           G
And I will walk the extra mile
         Am7
When the road ahead seems long
       D            Em     D
I will share those lonely silent nights
     G
That pass without a song
Em                D
Knowing that the darkness
       C
Is but for a little while
    Am7                     D
For you, my friend, I will walk
                       G#
I will walk the extra mile


[Solo]
C#  D#  G#  C#  D#

[Bridge]
               B
And though the miles create a distance
     B
That keeps us worlds apart
          B
There's a road you walk each day
             G#      A#m D#  D#sus4   D#
That travels through my  heart


[Chorus]
           G#
And I will walk the extra mile
         A#m7
When the road ahead seems long
       D#           Fm     D#
I will share those lonely silent nights
     G#
That pass without a song
Fm                D#
Knowing that the darkness
       C#
Is but for a little while
    A#m7                    D#
For you, my friend, I will walk
                       G#
I will walk the extra mile
    A#m7                    D#
For you, my friend, I will walk
                       Fm7
I will walk the extra mile
