Em/G      Em/F#      G/D    Em6/C#
One step ahead of you

        C  G            C    C#dim
Stay in motion, keep an open mind

Em/G      Em/F#        G/D    Em6/C#
Love is a race run by two

      C  G       C   C#dim
Your emotion, my solitude

     A            Dm/A    A
If I stop I could lose my head

       G          D/F#   A
So I'm losing you instead

       Dm/A       Dm
Either way I'm confused

            Bb                A7sus4
You slow me down - what can I do?

        Dm             Bb            C7       A7sus4
There's one particular way I have to choose

[Verse 2] One step ahead of you Always someone makes it hard to move She says: "Boy, I want you to stay" But I save it all for another day If I stop I could lose my head But I'm ready for romance Either way I'm confused I don't know what I'm s'posed to do I can only stay one step ahead of you [Verse 3] La da-de-da-dah (etc) Stop! I confess sometimes I don't know where I'm going Part of me stays with you I'm slowing down, what can I do? It's hard to stay one step ahead of you [Verse 4] One step ahead of you Time is running out, catching up with you One step ahead of you When I hold you close can I really lose? One step ahead, only one step ahead She's one step ahead of you...
