Intro | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
[G6]Woke up this morning my house was cold
[Dadd9/A]Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
[Em7]Went out and hopped in my old Ford
[Dadd9/A]Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
[G6]Given each other some hard lessons lately
[Dadd9/A]But we ain't learnin'
We're the [Em7]same sad [Dadd9/A]story that's a [G6]fact
G6 A7sus4 | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
One step up and two steps back
Bird on a [G6]wire outside my motel room
[Dadd9/A]But he ain't singin'
[Em7]Girl in white outside a church in June
[Dadd9/A]But the church bells they ain't ringing
[G6]I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
[Dadd9/A]But all I'm thinkin' is
[Em7]I'm the same old [Dadd9/A]story same old [G6]act
G6 A7sus4 | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
One step up and two steps back
[G6]It's the same thing night on night
[Dadd9/A]Who's wrong baby who's right
[Em7]Another fight and I slam the door on
[Dadd9/A]Another battle in our dirty little war
[G6]When I look at myself I don't see
[Dadd9/A]The man I wanted to be
[Em7]Somewhere along the [Dadd9/A]line I slipped off [G6]track
G6 A7sus4 | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
caught movin' one step up and two steps back
[G6]There's a girl across the bar
[Dadd9/A]I get the message she's sendin'
[Em7]Mmm she ain't lookin' too married
[Dadd9/A]And me well honey I'm pretending
[G6]Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
[Dadd9/A]The music was never-ending
We [Em7]danced as the evening [Dadd9/A]sky faded to [G6]black
[G6]One step [A7sus4]up and two steps [G6]back (One step up and two steps [Dadd9/F#]back)
One step up and two steps [Em7]back (One step up and two steps [Dadd9/F#]back)
| G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
One step up and two steps back
Outro: | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
Solo (repeat til fade)
