[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
We're been runnin' away from,
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
Somethin' we both know,
[C majorC] [E7E7] [FF] [C majorC]
We've long run out of things to say,
[FF] [C majorC] [Bb majorBb] [G+G]
And I think I'd better go.
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
So don't be gettin' excited,
[C majorC] [E minorEm] [A minorAm] [D7D7]
When you hear that slammin' door,
[C majorC] [G+G]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
[FF] [C majorC]
On your floor in the mornin'.
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
And we've been hidin' from somethin',
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
That should have never gone this far,
[C majorC] [E7E7] [FF] [C majorC]
But after all it's what we've done,
[FF] [C majorC] [Bb majorBb] [G+G]
That makes us what we are.
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
And you've been talkin' in silence,
[C majorC] [E minorEm] [A minorAm] [D7D7]
Well if it's silence you adore,
[C majorC] [G+G]
Oh, there'll be one Less set of footsteps
[FF] [C majorC]
On your floor in the mornin'.
Chorus:
[FF] [C majorC]
Well there'll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
[FF] [A minorAm] [C majorC]
One Less man to walk in,
[FF] [G+G]
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
[A minorAm] [D MajorD] [G7G7]
One less voice a-talkin'.
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
But tomorrow's a dream away,
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
And today has turned to dust,
[C majorC] [E7E7] [FF] [C majorC]
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
[FF] [C majorC] [Bb majorBb] [G+G]
And your golden rule to rust.
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
If that's the way that you want it,
[C majorC] [E minorEm] [A minorAm] [D7D7]
Well that's the way I want it more,
[C majorC] [G+G]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
[FF] [C majorC]
On your floor in the mornin'.
[FF] [C majorC]
Well there'll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
[FF] [A minorAm] [C majorC]
One Less man to walk in,
[FF] [G+G]
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
[A minorAm] [D MajorD] [G7G7]
One less voice a-talkin'.
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
But tomorrow's a dream away,
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
And today has turned to dust,
[C majorC] [E7E7] [FF] [C majorC]
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
[FF] [C majorC] [Bb majorBb] [G+G]
And your golden rule to rust.
[C majorC] [FF] [G+G]
If that's the way that you want it,
[C majorC] [E minorEm] [A minorAm] [D7D7]
Well that's the way I want it more,
[C majorC] [G+G]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
[FF] [C majorC]
On your floor in the mornin'.
