[Verse 1]
G6
Woke up this morning my house was cold
Dadd9/F#
Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Em7
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Dadd9/F#
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
G6
We've given each other some hard lessons lately
Dadd9/F#
But we ain't learnin'
Em7 Dadd9/F# G6
We're the same sad story that's a fact
G6 A7sus G6
One step up and two steps back
[Verse 2]
G6
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
Dadd9/F#
But he ain't singin'
Em7
Girl in white outside a church in June
Dadd9/F#
But the church bells they ain't ringing
G6
Sittin' here in this bar tonight
Dadd9/F#
But all I'm thinkin' is
Em7 Dadd9/F# G6
I'm the same old story same old act
G6 A7sus G6
One step up and two steps back
[Verse 3]
G6
It's the same thing night on night
Dadd9/F#
Who's wrong baby who's right
Em7
Another fight and I slam the door on
Dadd9/F#
Another battle in our dirty little war
G6
When I look at myself I don't see
Dadd9/F#
The man I wanted to be
Em7 Dadd9/F# G6
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
G6 A7sus G6
I'm movin' one step up and two steps back
[Verse 4]
G6
There's a girl across the bar
Dadd9/F#
I get the message she's sendin'
Em7
Mmm she ain't lookin' to married
Dadd9/F#
And me well honey I'm pretending
G6
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
Dadd9/F#
The music was never-ending
Em7 Dadd9/F# G6
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
G6 A7sus G6
One step up and two steps back
