[ C ]                [ F ]         [ G ]
We're been runnin' away from , 
[ C ]               [ F ]      [ G ]
Somethin' we both know, 
     [ C ]      [ E7 ]   [ F ]       [ C ]
We've long run out of things to say,
      [ F ]      [ C ]    [ Bb ]   [ G ]
And I think I'd better go. 
[ C ]                   [ F ]    [ G ]
So don't be gettin' excited, 
        [ C ]       [ Em ]      [ Am ]  [ D7 ]
When you hear that slammin' door, 
                   [ C ]             [ G ]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
        [ F ]               [ C ]
On your floor in the mornin'.


[ C ]                        [ F ]         [ G ]
And we've been hidin' from somethin',
                 [ C ]             [ F ]      [ G ]
That should have never gone this far,
[ C ]       [ E7 ]     [ F ]        [ C ]
But after all it's what we've done,
     [ F ]      [ C ]    [ Bb ]   [ G ]
That makes us what we are.
[ C ]                        [ F ]    [ G ]
And you've been talkin' in silence, 
             [ C ]     [ Em ] [ Am ]  [ D7 ]
Well if it's silence you adore, 
                [ C ]             [ G ]
Oh, there'll be one Less set of footsteps
        [ F ]               [ C ]
On your floor in the mornin'.


Chorus:
                 [ F ]                               [ C ]
Well there'll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
[ F ]      [ Am ]   [ C ] 
One Less man to walk in,
[ F ]                              [ G ] 
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
[ Am ]     [ D ]     [ G7 ]
One less voice a-talkin'.


[ C ]              [ F ]         [ G ]
But tomorrow's a dream away, 
      [ C ]               [ F ]         [ G ]
And today has turned to dust,
[ C ]         [ E7 ]       [ F ]       [ C ]
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
         [ F ]    [ C ]     [ Bb ]  [ G ]
And your golden rule to rust. 
[ C ]                        [ F ]         [ G ]
If that's the way that you want it,
                [ C ]   [ Em ]    [ Am ]  [ D7 ]
Well that's the way I want it more, 
                   [ C ]             [ G ]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
        [ F ]          [ C ]
On your floor in the mornin'.


              [ F ]                         [ C ] 
Well there'll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
[ F ]      [ Am ]   [ C ] 
One Less man to walk in,
[ F ]                              [ G ] 
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
[ Am ]     [ D ]     [ G7 ]
One less voice a-talkin'.



[ C ]              [ F ]         [ G ]
But tomorrow's a dream away, 
      [ C ]               [ F ]         [ G ]
And today has turned to dust,
[ C ]         [ E7 ]       [ F ]       [ C ]
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
         [ F ]    [ C ]     [ Bb ]  [ G ]
And your golden rule to rust. 
[ C ]                        [ F ]         [ G ]
If that's the way that you want it,
                [ C ]   [ Em ]    [ Am ]  [ D7 ]
Well that's the way I want it more, 
                   [ C ]             [ G ]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
        [ F ]          [ C ]
On your floor in the mornin'.
