(Intro)

F  C  Dm  Bb

(Verse)
(F  C  Dm  Bb)
I've seen the heart of darkness,
Let's just say, I crossed over that line,
Held hands with the hopeless,
In too deep, on that ride, went around one more time,

(Bridge)
           C
When you're standing on the edge,
    Dm
You don't look down,
            Bb                   C
Till you're ready and willing to fly,

(Verse)
(F  C  Dm  Bb)
Now I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
And I'm willing to try this time,

(Verse)
(F  C  Dm  Bb)
I hitched a ride with forgiveness,
In that river of emotion,
I went down at third time,
I spend the night with the living,
Took a chance, looked inside,
Didn't know who I'd find,

(Bridge)
C                              Dm
Standing on the corner of the long goodbye,
   Bb                          C
All alone scared, i made up my mind,

(Chorus)
(F  C  Dm  Bb)
I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
                        Dm  C   Bb
And I'm willing to try,


(Bridge)
                      Dm  C   Bb
I'm sick of giving up,
                      Dm  C   Bb
There's a little luck,
                        F  C  Dm  Bb
I'm gonna get out of here,

(SOLO)
(F  C  Dm  Bb)

(Bridge)
            C       
When you're standing on the edge,
 Dm
Don't look down,
           Bb                  C
Til you're ready and willing to fly,

(Chorus)

(F  C  Dm  Bb)
I'm, one step closer,
With my arms open wide,
Yeah, I'm one step closer,
And I'm willing to try, yeah,
I'm, one step closer,
Yeah, I'm, one step closer
