Intro | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bruce_springsteen/one_step_up_tab_ver_2.html ]
G6  
Woke up this morning my house was cold
Dadd9/A
Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin'
Em7
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Dadd9/A
Hit the engine but she ain't turnin'
G6
Given each other some hard lessons lately
Dadd9/A
But we ain't learnin'
          Em7      Dadd9/A        G6
We're the same sad story that's a fact
G6       A7sus4          | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
One step up and two steps back

          G6
Bird on a wire outside my motel room
Dadd9/A
But he ain't singin'
Em7
Girl in white outside a church in June
Dadd9/A
But the church bells they ain't ringing
G6
I'm sittin' here in this bar tonight
Dadd9/A
But all I'm thinkin' is
Em7              Dadd9/A        G6
I'm the same old story same old act
G6       A7sus4          | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
One step up and two steps back

G6
It's the same thing night on night
Dadd9/A
Who's wrong baby who's right
Em7
Another fight and I slam the door on
Dadd9/A
Another battle in our dirty little war
G6
When I look at myself I don't see
Dadd9/A
The man I wanted to be
Em7                 Dadd9/A            G6
Somewhere along the line I slipped off track
       G6              A7sus4         | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
caught movin' one step up and two steps back

G6
There's a girl across the bar
Dadd9/A
I get the message she's sendin'
Em7
Mmm she ain't lookin' too married
Dadd9/A
And me well honey I'm pretending
G6
Last night I dreamed I held you in my arms
Dadd9/A
The music was never-ending
   Em7                   Dadd9/A      G6
We danced as the evening sky faded to black
G6       A7sus4           G6                              Dadd9/F#
One step up and two steps back (One step up and two steps back)
                          Em7                             Dadd9/F#
One step up and two steps back (One step up and two steps back)
                          | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
One step up and two steps back 

Outro: | G6 | Dadd9/F# | Em7 | Dadd9/F# |
