Intro 1
(G major) (D/F#) (E7sus4) (D/F#)
Verse 1
(G major) Woke up this morning the house was cold
(D/F#) Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
(E7sus4) Went out and hopped in my old Ford
(D/F#) Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
(G major) Given each other some hard lessons lately
(D/F#) We ain't learnin'
We're (E7sus4) the same sad (D/F#) story that's a (G major) fact
One step (Asus4) up and two steps

Bird on a (G major) wire outside my motel room
(D/F#) But he ain't singin'
(E7sus4) Girl in white outside a church in June
(D/F#) But the church bells they ain't ringing
(G major) I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
(D/F#) But all I'm thinkin' is
(E7sus4) I'm the same old (D/F#) story same old (G major) act
One step (Asus4) up and two steps

(G major) (back) (D/F#) (E7sus4) (D/F#)
Verse 3
(G major) It's the same thing night on night
(D major) Who's wrong baby who's right
(E7sus4) Another fight and I slam the door on
(D/F#) Another battle in our dirty little war
(G major) When I look at myself I don't see
(D/F#) The man I wanted to be
(E7sus4) Somewhere along the (D/F#) line
I slipped off (G major) track
I'm caught movin' one step (Asus4) up and two steps
Interlude 3
(G major) (back) (D/F#) (E7sus4) (D/F#)
Verse 4
(G major) There's a girl across the bar
I (D/F#) get the message she's sendin'
(E7sus4) Mmm, she ain't lookin' too married
And (D/F#) me well honey I'm pretending
(G major) Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
(D major) The music was never-ending
We danced (E7sus4) as the evening (D/F#) sky
faded to (G major) black
One step (Asus4) up and two steps
Outro 1
(G major) (back) (One step up and two steps (D/F#) back)

(D/F#) (E7sus4) (G major)
