[G] [F] [C] [Bb] [C] [G]
[C] We've been [F] running away [G] from [C] something we [F] both know.
[C] We've [E] long run [F] out of things [C] to say [F] and I [C] think I [Bb] better [G] go.
[C] So don't be [F] getting [G] excited [C] when you [E] hear that [D] slamming door.
[C] Cause everyone is [G] set to put steps [F] on your floor [G] in the morning.
[C] And we've been [F] hiding from [G] something [C] that should have never [F] gone this [Dm] far.
[C] [E] But after [F] all it's [C] what we've [F] done [C] that makes [Bb] us what we [G] are.
[C] And you've [F] been talking in [G] silence, [C] but if [E] it's silence [Am] you [D] adore.
[C] But everyone [G] is set to put steps [F] on your floor [C] in the morning.
But [F] everyone is set to put steps on your floor.
One [C] less man to [F] walk in, one less pair of jeans [G] on your [Am] door.
[D] One less [G] voice of [C] talking on, but [F] tomorrow's a [G] dream away.
[C] And today [F] has turned to [G] dust, [C] your silver [F] tongue has [C] turned to [F] clay, and [C] your golden [Bb] rule to [G] rust.
[C] If [F] that's the way that you [G] want it, [C] well that's [E] the way I [Am] want it [D] more.
[C] Cause everyone [G] is set to put steps [F] on your floor [C] in the morning.
[G] [C] [A] [D]
[C] [G] [F] [C]
[F] Cause everyone is set to put steps on your floor.
One less [C] man to [F] walk in, one less pair of jeans [G] upon your [Am] door.
[D] One less [G] voice of [C] talking on, but [F] tomorrow's a [G] dream away.
[C] And today has [F] turned to dust, [C] [E] your silver [F] tongue has [C] turned to [F] clay, and your [C] golden [Bb] rule to [G] rust.
[C] If that's [Bb] the way that you [G] want it, [C] well that's the [E] way I [Am] want it [D] more.
[C] Cause everyone is [G] set to put steps [F] on your floor [C] in the morning.
