[Intro]
A-E-A
A D A
The love that I've waited and longed for
D A
Is here in my arms at last
D A
But she doesn't know all about me
E A
I'm just one step ahead of my past
A D A
Now I'm walking the old straight and narrow
D A
But yesterday's coming up fast
D A
Cause you can't keep people from talking
E A
I'm just one step ahead of my past
A D
Cause when I played at love I made my mistakes
A E A E
Where everyone could see
A B
Now I'm wondering if she'll understand
E
Is always haunting me
A D A
Will the news break the heart of my darling
D A
And close the door to my future at last
D A
Till the day she knows all about me
D A
I'm one step ahead of my past
