                     G#m      F#sus4      B
What if you could go back and relive one day
             E
of your life all over again
       G#m      F#sus4       B             E
And unmake the mistake that left you a million
miles away
         G#m      F#sus4
From the you, you once knew
     B                 E
Now yesterday's shame keeps saying
that you'll never get
G#m  F#sus4        D#m
Back on track. But what if I told you.

Chorus:
E                 B                G#m
You're one step away from surrender
          F#               E B        G#m F#
One step away from coming home, coming home
E          B                G#m
One step from arms wide open
         F#                 E B
His love has never let you go
             G#m F#
You're not alone
                 G#m F#sus4 B E
You're one step away

It doesn't matter how far you've gone
Mercy says
You don't have to keep running down
the road you're on
Love's never met a lost cause
Your shame, lay it down
Leave your ghosts in the past
'Cause you know that you can't go back
But you can turn around
You've never been more than

Chorus:
One step away from surrender
One step away from coming home, coming home
One step from arms wide open
His love has never let you go
You're not alone (not alone)
You're one step away
You're one step away

E        G#m                  F#
Lay down, lay down your old chains,
         B/D#
come now and take up your new name
E        G#m             F#                    E
Your best life up ahead now, you're one step away
         G#m                  F#
Lay down, lay down your old chains,
             D#m
come now and take up your new name
E          G#m           F# D#m                E
Your best life up ahead now, you're one step away
         G#m                  F#
Lay down, lay down your old chains,
         D#m
come now and take up your new name
E       G#m             F#
Your best life up ahead now,
                  E B G#m F#sus4
you're one step away

So come on home, come on home
One step from arms wide open
His love has never let you go
You're not alone (you're not alone)
You're one step away

Lay down, lay down your old chains
Take up, take up your new name
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Take up, take up your new name

Lay down, lay down your old chains
Come now, take up your new name
Your best life up ahead now
One step away
Lay down, lay down your old chains
Come now, and take up your new name
Your best life up ahead now
You're just one step away
