A# Woke up this morning my house was cold F/A Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin' Gm7 Went out and hopped in my old Ford F/A Hit the engine but she ain't turnin' A# We've given each other some hard lessons lately F/A But we ain't learnin' Gm7 F/A A# We're the same sad story that's a fact A# C7sus4 A# One step up and two steps back Bird on a wire outside my motel room But he ain't singin' Girl in white outside a church in June But the church bells, they ain't ringing I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight But all I'm thinkin' is I'm the same old story, same old act One step up and two steps back It's the same thing night on night Who's wrong, baby? Who's right? Another fight and I slam the door on Another battle in our dirty little war When I look at myself I don't see The man I wanted to be Somewhere along the line I slipped off track I'm caught movin' one step up and two steps back There's a girl across the bar I get the message she's sendin' Mmm she ain't lookin' too married And me, well, honey I'm pretending Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms The music was never-ending We danced as the evening sky faded to black One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back One step up and two steps back You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  A#  C7sus4  F  Gm7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
