Dm
Step by step
          F         Gm
Rattle through the night
Don't look now
There's no end in sight

Step by step
Moving on through the graveyard shift
No way out
That's the truth 'bout the size of it

Inch by inch
Shuffle through the heat
Stay in time
Don't you miss a beat

Inch by inch
Stay in line, never dance alone
Stand close
Holding on to a bag of bones

Em            C        D
Worming your way into my life
Em         C             A
Little by little, we're getting too tight

Taking me over and stealing my soul
Oh, oh, stealing my soul

Step by step
Step by step
