Verse 1:
                         G               D
Woke up this morning the house was cold
                               D       Em
Checked the furnace she wasn't burnin'
                       Em           D
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
                   D                  G
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
                            G                    D
We've given each other some hard lessons lately
             D
But we ain't learnin'
          Em       D              G     Em
We're the same sad story that's a fact
         D                G
One step up and two steps back

Instrumental:
D Em D

Verse 2:
          G                 G         D
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
                D     Em
But he ain't singin'
                        Em              D
Girl in white outside a church in June
                     D                   G
But the church bells they ain't ringing
                    G             D
Sittin' here in this bar tonight
                D        Em
But all I'm thinkin' is
                 D              G    Em
I'm the same old story same old act
         D                G
One step up and two steps back

Instrumental:
|D Em D | G

Verse 3:
                    G               D
It's the same thing night on night
             D                Em
Who's wrong baby who's right
                   Em               D
Another fight and I slam the door on
                   D                    G
Another battle in our dirty little war
                  G                 D
When I look at my-self I don't see
           D            Em
The man I wanted to be
                    D                  G
Somewhere 'long the line I slipped off track
      Em                 D                G
Caught - movin' one step up and two steps back

Instrumental:
|D Em D |G

Verse 4:
                G                D
There's a girl across the bar, I
                      D        Em
get the message she's sendin'
               Em                    D
Mmm she ain't lookin' to married and
               D               G
me, well honey I'm pretending
                        G                   D
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
                     D
The music was never-ending
   Em                    D            G      Em
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
         D                G     Em
One step up and two steps back
         D                G     Em
One step up and two steps back
         D                G
One step up and two steps back

Instrumental:
D Em D

Outro:
G D Em D
