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