[Bb] [F]
[Gm] [F]
[Bb] Woke up this morning the house was [F] cold
Checked the furnace she wasn't burning
[Gm] Went out and hopped in my old [F] Ford
Hit the engine buddy she ain't [Bb] done
We've been giving each other some hard lessons [F] lately
We ain't learning
[Gm] The [F] same sad story [Bb] that took place
[F] One step up and [Bb] two steps back
[F]
[Gm]
[F] Heard on a [Bb] wire outside my motel [F] room
But he ain't singing
[Gm] Girl and wine inside a church engine
[F] But the church bells ain't [Bb] ringing
Sitting here in this bar tonight
[F] But all I'm thinking [Gm] is
I'm the [F] same old story, [Bb] same old act
One [Fm] step to the back, [Bb] two steps back
[F]
[Gm] [F]
[Bb] It's the same thing night on [F] night
Who's wrong, baby, who's [Gm] right
Another fight and I slam the [F] door on
Another battle and I dirty little [Bb] war
When I look at myself I don't [F] see
The man I wanted to [Gm] be
Somewhere [F] along the line I [Bb] saw the dog drag
Moving [C] step up and [Bb] step back
[F]
[Gm]
[F] [Bb] There's a girl across the [F] bar
Get the message she's sending
[Gm] She ain't looking to [F] marry me
But honey I'm [Bb] pretending
Last night I dreamed I held you in my [F] arms
The music was never ending
[Gm] We danced as the [F] evening sky faded [Bb] to black
One [D] step up and [Bb] two steps back
[F] Step up and two [Gm] steps
Step [F] up and two [Bb] steps
