RE LA
Back in seventyfive when the kid was on the line
MIm SOL
and he felt no pain 'cause there was none
RE LA
He would bend in the wind, take in anything
MIm SOL
like sniffin' roses, and it was all right
MIm LA
until he fell and cut his hand
SOL SIm
He just could not understand
MIm RE/FA# SOL MI
He ran away, blame pretence for defence
LA
or plain innocence
Said that's all right,
SOL RE LA MIm
the harder it fights, I'm one step closer to home
SOL RE LA MIm
The deeper it bites , I'm one step closer to home
SOL RE
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
SOL RE
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
SOL RE SOL RE LA RE
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
ADADA Em G (As in the Intro.)
RE LA
Oh yeah, he ran, hitched rides, travelled light
MIm SOL
left his bags behind, said he lost them
RE LA
He said that's O.K. I got money and a smile
MIm SOL
from place to place, and they don't mind
MIm LA
I've had the heads of businessmen
LA SIm
and I just gave them right back again
MIm RE/FA# SOL MIm
I've got no need for device, disguise
LA
or plain compromise
Said that's all right,
SOL RE LA MIm
the tougher it gets, I'm one step closer to home
SOL RE LA MIm
the more that I sweat, I'm one step closer to home
SOL RE
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
SOL RE
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
SOL RE SOL RE LA RE
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
SIm RE
There ain't no need for this, at all, at all
surely you can help me out, say
MIm FA#m
I know a lot of people, just like you
SOL SIm
plenty to live for and nothing to lose, so
RE LA
tear it all down, smash it all up
RE LA
break it all down, and then just stop
RE LA RE LA
build it up
RE LA
build it up
RE LA
build it up
RE LA
and the tougher it gets and the more that I sweat
RE SOL
and the harder it fights and the deeper it bites
RE LA MIm
I'm one step closer to home
SOL
the harder it fights
RE LA
I'm one step closer to home
SOL RE
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
SOL RE
I can't give in, till the sky turns black

I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
