One Step Closer
(Intro)
F  C  Dm  Bb
(Verse)
(  F    C    Dm  Bb)
I've seen the heart of darkness,
Let's just say, I crossed over that line,
Held hands with the hopeless,
In too deep, on that ride, went around one more time,
(Bridge)
When you're Cstanding on the edge,
You Dmdon't look down,
Till you're Bbready and willing to Cfly,
(Verse)
(  F    C    Dm  Bb)
Now I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
And I'm willing to try this time,
(Verse)
(  F    C    Dm  Bb)
I hitched a ride with forgiveness,
In that river of emotion,
I went down at third time,
I spend the night with the living,
Took a chance, looked inside,
Didn't know who I'd find,
(Bridge)
CStanding on the corner of the lDmong goodbye,
All Bbalone scared, i made up my Cmind,
(Chorus)
(  F    C    Dm  Bb)
I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
And I'm willing to try,Dm  C  Bb  
(Bridge)
I'm sick of giving up,Dm  C  Bb  
There's a little luck,Dm  C  Bb  
I'm gonna get out of herFe,C  Dm  Bb  
(SOLO)
(  F    C    Dm  Bb)
(Bridge)
When you're Cstanding on the edge,
DDmon't look down,
Til you're Bbready and willing to Cfly,
(Chorus)
(  F    C    Dm  Bb)
I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,

And I'm willing to try, yeah,
I'm, one step closer,
