Capo 3

G6 Dadd9/F# Em7 A7sus

Picking pattern for all chords except A7sus. With A7sus, you just use the A string

as your bass instead of the low E.

[Verse 1]

G6

Woke up this morning my house was cold

Dadd9/F#

Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'

Em7

Went out and hopped in my old Ford

Dadd9/F#

Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'

G6

We've given each other some hard lessons lately

Dadd9/F#

But we ain't learnin'

Em7 Dadd9/F# G6

We're the same sad story that's a fact

G6 A7sus G6

One step up and two steps back

[Verse 2]

G6

Bird on a wire outside my motel room

Dadd9/F#

But he ain't singin'

Em7

Girl in white outside a church in June

Dadd9/F#

But the church bells they ain't ringing

G6

Sittin' here in this bar tonight

Dadd9/F#

But all I'm thinkin' is

Em7 Dadd9/F# G6

I'm the same old story same old act

G6 A7sus G6

One step up and two steps back

[Verse 3]

G6

It's the same thing night on night

Dadd9/F#

Who's wrong baby who's right

Em7

Another fight and I slam the door on

Dadd9/F#

Another battle in our dirty little war

G6

When I look at myself I don't see

Dadd9/F#

The man I wanted to be

Em7 Dadd9/F# G6

Somewhere along the line I slipped off track

G6 A7sus G6

I'm movin' one step up and two steps back

[Verse 4]

G6

There's a girl across the bar

Dadd9/F#

I get the message she's sendin'

Em7

Mmm she ain't lookin' to married

Dadd9/F#

And me well honey I'm pretending

G6

Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms

Dadd9/F#

The music was never-ending

Em7 Dadd9/F# G6

We danced as the evening sky faded to black

G6 A7sus G6

One step up and two steps back
