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........
D A
Back in seventyfive when the kid was on the line
Em G
and he felt no pain 'cause there was none
D A
He would bend in the wind, take in anything
Em G
like sniffin' roses, and it was all right
Em A
until he fell and cut his hand
G Bm
He just could not understand
Em D/F# G E
He ran away, blame pretence for defence
A
or plain innocence
Said that's all right,
G D A Em
the harder it fights, I'm one step closer to home
G D A Em
The deeper it bites , I'm one step closer to home
G D
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
G D
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
G D G D A D
I 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 G
left his bags behind, said he lost them
D A
He said that's O.K. I got money and a smile
Em G
from place to place, and they don't mind
Em A
I've had the heads of businessmen
A Bm
and I just gave them right back again
Em D/F# G Em
I've got no need for device, disguise
A
or plain compromise
Said that's all right,
G D A Em
the tougher it gets, I'm one step closer to home
G D A Em
the more that I sweat, I'm one step closer to home
G D
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
G D
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
G D G D A D
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#m
I know a lot of people, just like you
G Bm
plenty to live for and nothing to lose, so
D A
tear it all down, smash it all up
D A
break it all down, and then just stop
D A D A
build it up
D A
build it up
D A
build it up
D A
and the tougher it gets and the more that I sweat
D G
and the harder it fights and the deeper it bites
D A Em
I'm one step closer to home
G
the harder it fights
D A
I'm one step closer to home
G D
And you can tie my hands or whip my back
G D
I can't give in, till the sky turns black
G D G D A D
I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
