O líder e vocalista Jon Bon Jovi (John Francis Bongiovi) começou a tocar piano e guitarra aos 13 anos, aprendendo músicas de Elton John. Com a mesma idade, fundou sua primeira banda, chamada Raze. Aos 16 anos, conheceu David Bryan (David Bryan Rashbaum) no colégio (Sayreville War Memorial High School). Os dois fundaram uma banda de R&B cover chamada Atlantic City Expressway. Eles tocaram em clubes de New Jersey mesmo sendo menores de idade. Ainda na adolescência, tocou na banda Jon Bon Jovi and the Wild Ones.

(Verse) (FCDmBb) 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, BbC Till you're ready and willing to fly,
(Verse) (FCDmBb) 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) (FCDmBb) 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) CDm Standing on the corner of the long goodbye, BbC All alone scared, i made up my mind,
(Chorus) (FCDmBb) I'm, one step closer, With my arms open wide, Yeah, I'm one step closer, DmCBb And I'm willing to try,
(Bridge) DmCBb I'm sick of giving up, DmCBb There's a little luck, FCDmBb I'm gonna get out of here,
(SOLO) (FCDmBb)
(Bridge) C When you're standing on the edge, Dm Don't look down, BbC Til you're ready and willing to fly,
(Chorus)
(FCDmBb) 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
