One Step Closer
(Intro)
F  C  Dm  Bb
(Verse)
 F C DmBb
(      )
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)
           C
When you're standing on the edge,
    Dm
You don't look down,
            Bb                   C
Till you're ready and willing to fly,
(Verse)
 F C DmBb
(      )
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 DmBb
(      )
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)
C                              Dm
Standing on the corner of the long goodbye,
   Bb                          C
All alone scared, i made up my mind,
(Chorus)
 F C DmBb
(      )
I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
                        Dm  C   Bb
And I'm willing to try,
(Bridge)
                      Dm  C   Bb
I'm sick of giving up,
                      Dm  C   Bb
There's a little luck,
                        F  C  Dm  Bb
I'm gonna get out of here,
(SOLO)
 F C DmBb
(      )
(Bridge)
            C
When you're standing on the edge,
 Dm
Don't look down,
           Bb                  C
Til you're ready and willing to fly,
(Chorus)
 F C DmBb
(      )
I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
And I'm willing to try, yeah,
I'm, one step closer,
Yeah, I'm, one step closer
[Outro]
Dm  C  Bb
Dm  C  Bb
