A Step Behind

	  		



Intro: Am 

verse 1 

It's not so much that you left 
                          C      Am 
It's that you didn't come back 
         
It's not the pain that you felt 
                C       F 
But the obvious lack 

 
      G               C       F 
I was always a step behind 
      G               C       Am 
I was always a step behind 



verse 2 

It wasn't watching you go 
                     C      Am 
But the way that you went 

With a kiss on the cheek 
                     C       F 
And a cheque for the rent 


      G               C       F 
I was always a step behind 
      G               C       Am 
I was always a step behind 



Instrumental: Am   C   Am   C   Am 


verse 3 

It wasn't really your fault 
                         C     Am 
Because you made it mine too 

While you were looking around 
                 C      F 
I was looking at you 


      G               C       F 
I was always a step behind 
      G               C        G 
I was always a step behind 



Bridge 

And I hope you remember 
               C        G 
When it comes around 

The gentle release 
              C       Dm 
Of letting me down 
                    G     Dm  
And the way that it felt 
                  G     Dm 
To be high on yourself 
                         G7    G 
Blindly running into the new____ 


Instrumental: Am   C   Am   C   Am 


verse 4 

I haven't relearned to walk 
                   C      Am 
It's hard to learn that 

And it wasn't the fall 
                       C       F 
It was the push in the back 

 
      G               C       F 
I was always a step behind 
      G               C 
I was always a step behind 
  F                  G                C       F 
Ohh, I didn't see it coming up from behind 
      G               C 
I was always a step behind
