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