Biography:
Split Enz was one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. Founded in 1972 by Tim Finn and Phil Judd, and with a variety of other members during its existence, eight songs Split Enz were listed in the APRA Top 100 New Zealand Songs of All Time, more than any other band. The band played its final show on 4 December 1984 in Auckland. One-off reunions took place subsequently, with the band reuniting in 1993 for its twentieth anniversary tour and once more for a tour in 2006.

[Intro]
(bass line only: no chords)
G F# D C# C G C C#
[Verse 1]
Em/G D/F# Bm/D Em/C#
One step ahead of you
C G C Em/C#
Stay in motion, keep an open mind
Em/G D/F# Bm/D Em/C#
Love is a race run by two
C G C Em/C#
Your emotion, my solitude
A Dm/A A
If I stop I could lose my head
G C A
So I'm losing you instead
Dm/A Dm
Either way I'm confused
C Asus2
You slow me down - what can I do?
Dm C Em/G A9
There's one particular way I have to choose
[Verse 2]
One step ahead of you
Always someone makes it hard to move
She says: "Boy, I want you to stay"
But I save it all for another day
If I stop I could lose my head
But I'm ready for romance
Either way I'm confused
I don't know what I'm s'posed to do
I can only stay one step ahead of you
[Verse 3]
La da-de-da-dah (etc)
Stop! I confess sometimes
I don't know where I'm going
Part of me stays with you
I'm slowing down, what can I do?
It's hard to stay one step ahead of you
[Verse 4]
One step ahead of you
Time is running out, catching up with you
One step ahead of you
When I hold you close can I really lose?
One step ahead, only one step ahead
She's one step ahead of you...
