Am7
[Verse 1]
Am7
Well, they call her Lady Luck, but that beauty is a beast
Am7
She gave me only famine, I'm still waiting for the feast
Dm7
I'm getting nowhere
Am7
And nowhere is a bad place to be
Bm7
Try to help myself
C D
I just don't have the knack
Am7
I'm taking one step forward
Am7
And two steps back
[Verse 2]
Am7
I can't pay the landlord, so I've got no place
Am7
I want to be a winner, but someone fixed the race
Dm7
I've gone to nothing
Am7
And nothing is a bad way to be
Bm7
I'm down instead of up
C D
I'm red insteaf of black
Am7
I'm taking one step forward
Am7
And two steps back

[Verse 3]
Am7
I've got to check the dealer, that's all I can take
Am7
If I try to climb the ladder I'll get swallowed by a snake
Dm7
Now I've got nothing
Am7
And nothing ain't enough for me
Bm7
Got to take my lousy luck
C D
And drown it in a sack
N.C.
I'm taking one step forward
N.C. Am7
And two steps back
[Bridge]
Am7
One step forward, two steps back
Am7
One step forward, two steps back
Am7
One step forward, two steps back
Am7
One step forward, two steps back
