Dm C Em/G A 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?

One step ahead, only one step ahead She's one step ahead of you... \\\\ John Kean OO | ~~~~~~~~~ < ) keanj@agresearch.cri.nz \/ | `--
