 One step ahead of mise-ry.

 One step is all I have to take, backwards,

          Em                                  A (n.C)
To be the same old fool for you, I used to be.

 One kiss away from your sweet lips.

 I know I can't af-ford to stop, for one moment,

'Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips.

 Your warm breath on my shoulder, keeps reminding me.

That it's too soon to forget you, it's too late to be free,

Can't you see?

 I try and yet I can't take two.

Em                       F#m                Bm
 Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards...

 One step ahead is a step too far away from you.
