Verse 1:

FF
Steady now baby, steady now
             C majorC
Quit banging there on my door
FF
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't wanna
                 C majorC
Just have you right here on this floor
FF
It's been years since I've found you, put my arms around you
               C majorC
And we twisted our limbs into dreams
FF
Did that best to keep up with that wild lovin' cup
    DmDm       Bb majorBb
'Til we both ran out of steam
     C majorC      FF
Our love ran out of steam

Verse 2:

FF
Steady now baby, steady now
             C majorC
Quit jabbering outside my door
FF
Used to jangle them keys like a dog scratching fleas
           C majorC
I ain't jangling keys anymore
FF
I spent ten thousand days days like a runaway slave
             C majorC
Living a wild intoxicant style
FF
Go ahead and get pissed, I don't mean it as a diss
DmDm            Bb majorBb
I need sleep for a little while
    C majorC         FF
Let me sleep for a little while

Chorus:

Steady now, steady

Verse 3:

FF
Steady now mermaid, steady now
               C majorC
You're swimming away from my door
FF
Did I forget to feed you? Do you know that I need you?
            C majorC
Do I kneel on linoleum floor?
FF
I know you can't be tamed but I ain't ashamed
             C majorC
To beg you for a god damn bone
FF
I quit jangling my keys and I told her to leave
    DmDm         Bb majorBb
Still I wait at your empty throne
    C majorC         FF
Must I wait at your empty throne?

Bb majorBb       FF
Steady now, steady
Bb majorBb       FF
Steady now, steady

Steady now
