I'm only one step ahead of heart-break,
Dmaj7 F#m B7
One step ahead of mise-ry.

One step is all I have to take, backwards,

To be the same old fool for you, I used to be.

I'm only one step ahead of your arms,
Dmaj7 F#m B7
One kiss away from your sweet lips.

Your warm breath on my shoulder, keeps reminding me.

Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards...

Dmaj7 and A chord are the same?? Why ?
Good catch.
Dmaj7 should be: xx0222.
I play it like an A chord, but a string down.
You can also have a mini-bar on the bottom 3 strings on the 2nd fret as well.
