One Step Over The Line chords by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Sung by John Hiatt and Rosanne Cash on the second 'Will the Circle be Unbroken' Album

If your a beginner and find these chords difficult, you could transpose down 2 semitones to G using the
transposer tool and put your capo on second fret to play in the original key, A.

Intro: (Each letter represents a strum)
D D A A D D A A D D A A A E A

                      D        A
When I look into your eyes
                          D     A
See the world cut down to size
               D         A
Baby don't apologize
                   E        A
Takin' me one step over the line

                         D      A
When I touch your secret skin
                        D     A
Babe I know it ain't no sin
                            D     A
I feel you startin' to give in
                      E         A
Now let's go one step over the line

(Instrumental Verse)
                              D     A
I know it's just your daddy's car
                           D        A
Your daddy never went this far
                    D        A
Baby we know who we are
                  E        A
Let's go one step over the line

                      D         A
I can be your drivin' wheel
                          D         A
We could make those tires squeal
                       D       A
Ooo I like the way it feels
                   E        A
Takin' it one step over the line

F#m
One step forward and two steps back
             C#m
It's for the first time baby
D
I'm talkin' cake walkin' into the black
  B                       D          C#m
A crossin' red line and I don't mean maybe

(Instrumental Verse)
                           D      A
I hear they buried lover's lane
                      D         A
In a sea of tears and blame
                         D        A
It's you and me go up in flames
               E         A
Baby, one step over the line

                             D         A
They're drawin' boxes on the ground
                        D       A
Just to make us look on down
                        D          A
All we gotta do is look around
                     E         A
And take it one step over the line

           E        A
A one step over the line
                       E        A
Come on baby, one step over the line
