  One Step Closer To Home - The Alarm (Twist/Sharp)

  =================================================

  

  Intro: (v = downstroke, ^ = upstroke, . = pick separate strings)

  

  GGG G G G D A D ADADA Em     G         G

  v^v v v v v v v vvvvv v....  v........ v........

  

  

  

          D                    A

  Back in seventyfive when the kid was on the line

         Em                        G

  and he felt no pain 'cause there was none

           D                      A

  He would bend in the wind, take in anything

                Em                G

  like sniffin' roses, and it was all right

           Em               A

  until he fell and cut his hand

          G               Bm

  He just could not understand

           Em        D/F#         G        E

  He ran away, blame pretence for defence 

           A

  or plain innocence

  

  

  

  Said that's all right, 

                G                     D        A     Em 

  the harder it fights, I'm one step closer to home

                G                     D        A     Em

  The deeper it bites , I'm one step closer to home

                     G                D

  And you can tie my hands or whip my back

               G                      D

  I can't give in, till the sky turns black

             G                   D        G    D A D    

  I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home

  

  

  ADADA Em G  (As in the Intro.)

  

  

              D                    A

  Oh yeah, he ran, hitched rides, travelled light

           Em                   G

  left his bags behind, said he lost them

          D                 A

  He said that's O.K. I got money and a smile

       Em                       G

  from place to place, and they don't mind

               Em               A

  I've had the heads of businessmen

             A                      Bm

  and I just gave them right back again

           Em          D/F#    G          Em

  I've got no need for device, disguise

           A

  or plain compromise 

  

  

  

  Said that's all right, 

                 G                   D        A     Em 

  the tougher it gets, I'm one step closer to home

                  G                    D        A     Em

  the more that I sweat, I'm one step closer to home

                     G                D

  And you can tie my hands or whip my back

               G                      D

  I can't give in, till the sky turns black

             G                   D        G    D A D

  I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home

  

  

  Bm                                          D

     There ain't no need for this, at all, at all

                                  

     surely you can help me out, say

  Em                         F#m

     I know a lot of people, just like you

  G                      Bm

  plenty to live for and nothing to lose, so

  D                  A

  tear it all down, smash it all up

  D                                 A

  break it all down, and then just stop

              D A D A 

  build it up

              D  A             

  build it up

              D  A             

  build it up

                     D                        A

  and the tougher it gets and the more that I sweat

                     D                        G

  and the harder it fights and the deeper it bites

  

  

                D        A     Em

  I'm one step closer to home

                G

  the harder it fights

                D        A

  I'm one step closer to home

                     G                D

  And you can tie my hands or whip my back

               G                      D

  I can't give in, till the sky turns black

             G                   D        G    D A D

  I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
