1.  Woke up this morning my house was cold
   D
    Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
   Em7
    Went out and hopped in my old Ford
   D
    Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
   G
    We've given each other some hard lessons lately
   D
    But we ain't learnin'
   Em7                 D              G
    We're the same sad story that's a fact
   G         Em7              D
    One step up and two steps back
   
2.  Bird on a wire outside my motel room
    But he ain't singin'
    Girl in white outside a church in June
    But the church bells they ain't ringing
    Sittin' here in this bar tonight
    But all I'm thinkin' is
    I'm the same old  story same old  act
    One step up and two steps back
   
3.  It's the same thing night on night
    Who's wrong baby who's right
    Another fight and I slam the door on
    Another battle in our dirty little war
    When I look at myself I don't see
    The man I wanted to be
    Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
    I'm movin' one step up and two steps back
   
4.  There's a girl across the bar
    I get the message she's sendin'
    Mmm she ain't lookin' to married
    And me well honey I'm pretending
    Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
    The music was never-ending
    We danced as the evening sky faded to black
    One step up and two steps back
