Life and Times ABC Records [Intro] | G | F | C | G | [Verse 1]
C                     F         G
  We've been runnin' away from,

C                   F      G
  Somethin' we both know,

      C        E7     F         C
We've long run out of things to say,

      F         C      Bb    G
And I think I'd better go.

C                      F       G
  So don't be gettin' excited,

         C         Em        Am    D7
When you hear that slammin' door,

                   C               G
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps

        F            C
On your floor in the mornin'.
[Verse 2]
C                            F           G
  And we've been hidin' from somethin',

                 C               F     G
That should have never gone this far,

C           E7       F          C
  But after all it's what we've done,

     F        C       Bb     G
That makes us what we are.

C                            F        G
  And you've been talkin' in silence,

               C      Em   Am    D7
Well, if it's silence you adore,

                C               G
Oh, there'll be one less set of footsteps

        F            C
On your floor in the mornin'.
[Chorus]
                  F                                 C
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor,

F        Am     C
One less man to walk in,

F                                G
One less pair of jeans upon your door,

Am       D       G7
One less voice a-talkin'.
[Verse 3]
C                 F           G
 But tomorrow's a dream away,

      C                 F      G
And today has turned to dust,

C             E7         F         C
  Your silver tongue has turned to clay,

         F      C       Bb    G
And your golden rule to rust.

C                           F         G
 If that's the way that you want it,

                 C     Em      Am    D7
Well, that's the way I want it more,

                   C               G
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps

        F            C
On your floor in the mornin'.
[Solo] | C | F G | C E7 | Am D7 | | C | G | F | C [Chorus]
                  F                                 C
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor,

F        Am     C
One less man to walk in,

F                                G
One less pair of jeans upon your door,

Am       D       G7
One less voice a-talkin'.
[Verse 4]
C                 F           G
 But tomorrow's a dream away,

      C                 F      G
And today has turned to dust,

C             E7         F         C
  Your silver tongue has turned to clay,

         F      C       Bb    G
And your golden rule to rust.

C                           F         G
 If that's the way that you want it,

                 C     Em      Am    D7
Well, that's the way I want it more,

                   C               G
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps

        F            C
On your floor in the mornin'.

                C               G
Oh, there'll be one less set of footsteps

        F            C      G C
on your floor in the mornin'
