One Less Set of Footsteps | Jim Croce | Lyrics ☾☀ Chords

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