...ONE STEP AHEAD... by Aretha Franklin --------------------................... *Released 1965* *CAPO 1st FRET* (Original Key: ) Intro: , , , Verse 1: I'm only one step ahead of heart-break, One step ahead of mise-ry. One step is all I have to take, backwards, (n.) To be the same old fool for you, I used to be. Verse 2: I'm only one step ahead of your arms, One kiss away from your sweet lips. I know I can't af-ford to stop, for one moment, , 'Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips. Bridge 1: Your warm breath on my shoulder, Keeps reminding me, That it's too soon to forget you, It's too late to be free, Can't you see? Verse 3: I'm only one step ahead of your love, I try and yet I can't take two. Seems like I'll have, To take that one step backwards... Coda: 'Cos one step ahead, Is a step too far away from you. 'Cos one step ahead, Is a step too far away from you.
