[Intro] D7M  Em7  G  D7M  A

         D7M               Em7   G
I'm only one step ahead of heart-break
D7M                   F#m  B7
    One step ahead of mise-ry
Em                   F#m           Bm
   One step is all I have to take, backwards
          Em                                  A 
To be the same old fool for you, I used to be

         D7M               Em7  G
I'm only one step ahead of your arms
D7M                    F#m        B7
    One kiss away from your sweet lips
Em                   F#m                   Bm
   I know I can't af-ford to stop, for one moment
                     Em                       A  A7
'Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips

D                  Bm             D                Bm
  Your warm breath on my shoulder, keeps reminding me
          Em                           C#             F#m  C#
That it's too soon to forget you, it's too late to be free
          Em   A
Can't you see?

         D7M               Em7  G
I'm only one step ahead of your love
D7M                 F#m        B7
    I try and yet I can't take two
Em                         F#m                Bm
   Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards

     Em7                                   A    D7M  Bm
'Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you
Em7                                       A    D7M  Bm
    One step ahead is a step too far away from you
