Verse 1:
Dmaj7 Em7 G
I'm only one step ahead of heart-break,
Dmaj7 F#m B7
One step ahead of mise-ry.
Em F#m
One step is all I have to take,
Bm
Backwards,
Em
To be the same old fool for you,
A (n.c)
I used to be.
Verse 2:
Dmaj7 Em7 G
I'm only one step ahead of your arms,
Dmaj7 F#m B7
One kiss away from your sweet lips.
Em F#m
I know I can't af-ford to stop,
Bm
For one moment,
Em
'Cos I'm just out of reach,
A, A7
Of your fingertips.
Bridge 1:
D
Your warm breath,
Bm
On my shoulder,
D Bm
Keeps reminding me,
Em
That it's too soon to forget you,
C# F#m C#
It's too late to be free,
Em A
Can't you see?
Verse 3:
Dmaj7 Em7 G
I'm only one step ahead of your love,
Dmaj7 F#m B7
I try and yet I can't take two.
Em
Seems like I'll have,
F#m Bm
To take that one step backwards...
Coda:
Em7
'Cos one step ahead,
A Dmaj7 Bm
Is a step too far away from you.
Em7
'Cos one step ahead,
A Dmaj7 Bm
Is a step too far away from you.
