G
Woke up this morning my house was cold
D
Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Em7
Went out and hoped in my old Ford
D
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
G
We're given each other some hard lessons lately
D
But we ain't learnin'
Em7 D G
We're the same sad story that's a fact

G
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
D
But he ain't singin'
Em7
Girl in white outside a church in June
D
But the church bells they ain't ringing
G
I'm sitting here in this bar tonight
D
But all I'm thinkin' is
Em7 D G
I'm the same old story same old act
A7 G
One step up and two steps back

G
It's the same thing night on night
D
Who's wrong baby who's right
Em7
Another fight and I slam the door on
D
Another battle in our dirty little war
G
When I look at myself I don't see
D
The man I wanted to be
E7 D G
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
A7 G
I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back

G
There's a girl across the bar
D
I get the message she's sending
Em7
Mmm she ain't lookin' too married
D
And me well honey I'm pretending
G
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
D
The music was never-ending
Em7 D G
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
A7 G
One step up and two steps back
A7 G
One step up and two steps back
A7 G
