Step Down From It

Capo 1  

Intro: C           G     D 

verse 1: 

C 
You wake up 
                        G 
In the middle of the night 
                     D 
In the middle of a lie 

C 
You fall out 
                     G 
Like a loser in a fight 
                        D 
In the middle of the night 

C 
You feel rough 
                        G 
But you haven't had a drop 
                          D 
And the pounding never stops 

C                          G                  D    G   
And your doubts have never hit you quite this hard.. 



[Chorus]

C 
Step down from it 
    G            D 
That wall is too high for us 
C   
Don't hold your love 
G             D   
Where I can't reach 
C  
Step down from it 
G                 D 
You don't have to hide from us 
C 
Don't hold your love 
G         D 
Away from me 
                             C         D     C 
And I will be as steady as a heartbeat 


verse 2: 

C 
You wake up 
                         G 
Just the way you went to bed 
                     D 
Same dilemma in your head 
C 
And you're stuck 
                         G 
In the what if's and the why's 
                    D       
And it's hard to realize 

D           C  
That one day you'll believe 
D                  C 
Your heart is safe with me 


[Chorus]

C 
Step down from it 
    G            D 
That wall is too high for us 
C   
Don't hold your love 
G             D   
Where I can't reach 
C  
Step down from it 
G                 D 
You don't have to hide from us 
C 
Don't hold your love 
G         D 
Away from me 
                             C         D     C 
And I will be as steady as a heartbeat 


Riff:  

C      G       Em 
Dreams pass below your tower 
G                     D 
you're worried in the coldest hours 
                        C 
that no one will be your flame 


[Chorus]

C 
Step down from it 
    G            D 
That wall is too high for us 
C   
Don't hold your love 
G             D   
Where I can't reach 
C  
Step down from it 
G                 D 
You don't have to hide from us 
C 
Don't hold your love 
G         D 
Away from me 
                             C         D     C 
And I will be as steady as a heartbeat
