[C]                [F]         [G]
We're been runnin' away from,
[C]               [F]      [G]
Somethin' we both know,
     [C]      [E7]   [F]       [C]
We've long run out of things to say,
      [F]      [C]    [Bb]   [G]
And I think I'd better go.
[C]                   [F]    [G]
So don't be gettin' excited,
        [C]       [Em]      [Am]  [D7]
When you hear that slammin' door,
                   [C]             [G]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
	  [F]		   [C]
On your floor in the mornin'.

[C]                        [F]         [G]
And we've been hidin' from somethin',
                 [C]             [F]      [G]
That should have never gone this far,
[C]       [E7]     [F]        [C]
But after all it's what we've done,
     [F]      [C]    [Bb]   [G]
That makes us what we are.
[C]                        [F]    [G]
And you've been talkin' in silence,
             [C]     [Em] [Am]  [D7]
Well if it's silence you adore,
                [C]             [G]
Oh, there'll be one Less set of footsteps
	  [F]		   [C]
On your floor in the mornin'.


Chorus:
                 [F]                               [C]
Well there'll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
[F]      [Am]   [C]
One Less man to walk in,
[F]                              [G]
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
[Am]     [D]     [G7]
One less voice a-talkin'.


[C]              [F]         [G]
But tomorrow's a dream away,
      [C]               [F]         [G]
And today has turned to dust,
[C]         [E7]       [F]       [C]
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
         [F]    [C]     [Bb]  [G]
And your golden rule to rust.
[C]                        [F]         [G]
If that's the way that you want it,
                [C]   [Em]    [Am]  [D7]
Well that's the way I want it more,
                   [C]             [G]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
	  [F]          [C]
On your floor in the mornin'.


              [F]                         [C]
Well there'll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
[F]      [Am]   [C]
One Less man to walk in,
[F]                              [G]
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
[Am]     [D]     [G7]
One less voice a-talkin'.



[C]              [F]         [G]
But tomorrow's a dream away,
      [C]               [F]         [G]
And today has turned to dust,
[C]         [E7]       [F]       [C]
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
         [F]    [C]     [Bb]  [G]
And your golden rule to rust.
[C]                        [F]         [G]
If that's the way that you want it,
                [C]   [Em]    [Am]  [D7]
Well that's the way I want it more,
                   [C]             [G]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
	  [F]          [C]
On your floor in the mornin'.
