Step

A
Back, back, way back
          Amaj7                 
I used to front like Angkor Wat, 
   F#m                        E
Mechanicsburg, Anchorage and Dar es 
Salaam
      D                    A
While home in New York was champagne
 and disco
D                 E
Tapes from L.A. slash San Francisco

    A                    Amaj7
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
     F#m                           
Your girl was in Berkeley with her 
E
communist reader
D                         A
Mine was entombed within boombox and
 Walkman
D                    E
I was a hoarder but girl, that was 
back then

[Chorus]

    A                   Amaj7     
The gloves are off, the wisdom 
       F#m
teeth are out
          E
What you on about?
  D             A        D       
I feel it in my bones, I feel it 
       E
in my bones

    A                 Amaj7       
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for 
  F#m
the house
        E
Such a modest mouse
  D            A       D         
I can't do it alone, I can't do 
   E
it alone

A                Amaj7           
Every time I see you in the 
      F#m               E
world, you always step to my girl

D  A  D  E

A                      Amaj7
Ancestors told me that their girl 
was better
      F#m                       
She's richer than Croesus, she's 
 E
tougher than leather
D                      A
I just ignored all the tales of a 
past life
D                    E
Stale conversation deserves but a 
bread knife

    A                              
And punks who would laugh when they
 Amaj7
 saw us together
     F#m                     E
Well they didn't know how to dress 
for the weather
D                          A
I can still see them there huddled 
on Astor
D                        E
Snow falling slow to the sound of 
the Master


[Chorus]

    A                   Amaj7     
The gloves are off, the wisdom 
       F#m
teeth are out
          E
What you on about?
  D             A        D       
I feel it in my bones, I feel it 
       E
in my bones

    A                 Amaj7       
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for 
  F#m
the house
        E
Such a modest mouse
  D            A       D         
I can't do it alone, I can't do 
   E
it alone

[Verse]

A                         Amaj7
Wisdom's a gift but you'd trade it 
for youth
F#m                     E
Age is an honour - it's still not 
the truth
D                          A
We saw the stars when they hid from 
the world
D                          E
You cursed the sun when it stepped 
to your girl

A                      Amaj7
Maybe she's gone and I can't 
resurrect her
    F#m                       E
The truth is she doesn't need me to 
protect her
   D                               
We don't know the true death - the 
A
true way of all flesh
D                    E
Everyone's dying but girl - you're 
not old yet


[Chorus]

    A                   Amaj7     
The gloves are off, the wisdom 
       F#m
teeth are out
          E
What you on about?
  D             A        D       
I feel it in my bones, I feel it 
       E
in my bones

    A                 Amaj7       
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for 
  F#m
the house
        E
Such a modest mouse
  D            A       D         
I can't do it alone, I can't do 
   E
it alone

    A                   Amaj7     
The gloves are off, the wisdom 
       F#m
teeth are out
          E
What you on about?
  D             A        D       
I feel it in my bones, I feel it 
       E
in my bones

    A                 Amaj7       
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for 
  F#m
the house
        E
Such a modest mouse
  D            A       D         
I can't do it alone, I can't do 
   E
it alone

A                Amaj7           
Every time I see you in the 
      F#m               E
