[Verse 1]
Em/G      D/F#      Bm/D    A/C#
One step ahead of you
        C  G            C    C#m7b5
Stay in motion, keep an open mind
Em/G      D/F#        Bm/D    C#m7b5
Love is a race run by two
      C  G       C   C#m7b5
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
            Bb                Asus2
You slow me down - what can I do?
        Dm             Bb            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...
