{c:INTRO}
[Bb6]______[F2/A]______[gm7]______[F2/A]______
[Bb6] Woke up this morning the house was cold
[F2/A] Checked the furnace she wasn't burnin'
[gm7] Went out and hopped in my old Ford
[F2/A] Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
[Bb6] We've given each other some hard lessons lately
[F2/A] But we ain't learnin'
We're[gm7] the same sad [F2/A]story that's a [Bb6]fact
One step [C4]up and two steps [Bb6]back [F2/A]______[gm7]______[F2/A]______
Bird on a [Bb6]wire outside my motel room
[F2/A] But he ain't singin'
[gm7] Girl in white outside a church in June
[F2/A] But the church bells they ain't ringing
[Bb6] I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
[F2/A] But all I'm thinkin' is
[gm7] I'm the same old [F2/A]story same old [Bb6]act
One step [C4]up and two steps [Bb6]back [F2/A]______[gm7]______[F2/A]______
[Bb6] It's the same thing night on night
[F2/A] Who's wrong baby who's right
[gm7] Another fight and I slam the door on
[F2/A] Another battle in our dirty little war
[Bb6] When I look at myself I don't see
[F2/A] The man I wanted to be
[gm7] Somewhere along the [F2/A]line I slipped off [Bb6]track
I'm caught movin' one step [C4]up and two steps [Bb6]back [F2/A]______[gm7]______[F2/A]______
[Bb6] There's a girl across the bar
I[F2/A] get the message she's sending
[gm7] Mmm she ain't lookin' too married
[F2/A] And me well honey I'm pretending
[Bb6] Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
[F2/A] The music was never-ending
We [gm7]danced as the evening [F2/A]sky faded to [Bb6]black
One step [C4]up and two steps [Bb6]back [F2/A]______[gm7]______[F2/A]______
