[ C5 ]                [ F5 ]         [ G5 ]
We're been runnin' away from , 
[ C5 ]               [ F5 ]      [ G5 ]
Somethin' we both know, 
     [ C5 ]      [ E5 ]   [ F5 ]       [ C5 ]
We've long run out of things to say,
      [ F5 ]      [ C5 ]    [ Bb5 ]   [ G5 ]
And I think I'd better go. 
[ C5 ]                   [ F5 ]    [ G5 ]
So don't be gettin' excited, 
        [ C5 ]       [ E5 ]      [ A5 ]  [ D5 ]
When you hear that slammin' door, 
                   [ C5 ]             [ G5 ]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
        [ F5 ]               [ C5 ]
On your floor in the mornin'.


[ C5 ]                        [ F5 ]         [ G5 ]
And we've been hidin' from somethin',
                 [ C5 ]             [ F5 ]      [ G5 ]
That should have never gone this far,
[ C5 ]       [ E5 ]     [ F5 ]        [ C5 ]
But after all it's what we've done,
     [ F5 ]      [ C5 ]    [ Bb5 ]   [ G5 ]
That makes us what we are.
[ C5 ]                        [ F5 ]    [ G5 ]
And you've been talkin' in silence, 
             [ C5 ]     [ E5 ] [ A5 ]  [ D5 ]
Well if it's silence you adore, 
                [ C5 ]             [ G5 ]
Oh, there'll be one Less set of footsteps
        [ F5 ]               [ C5 ]
On your floor in the mornin'.


Chorus:
                 [ F5 ]                               [ C5 ]
Well there'll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
[ F5 ]      [ A5 ]   [ C5 ] 
One Less man to walk in,
[ F5 ]                              [ G5 ] 
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
[ A5 ]     [ D5 ]     [ G5 ]
One less voice a-talkin'.


[ C5 ]              [ F5 ]         [ G5 ]
But tomorrow's a dream away, 
      [ C5 ]               [ F5 ]         [ G5 ]
And today has turned to dust,
[ C5 ]         [ E5 ]       [ F5 ]       [ C5 ]
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
         [ F5 ]    [ C5 ]     [ Bb5 ]  [ G5 ]
And your golden rule to rust. 
[ C5 ]                        [ F5 ]         [ G5 ]
If that's the way that you want it,
                [ C5 ]   [ E5 ]    [ A5 ]  [ D5 ]
Well that's the way I want it more, 
                   [ C5 ]             [ G5 ]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
        [ F5 ]          [ C5 ]
On your floor in the mornin'.


              [ F5 ]                         [ C5 ] 
Well there'll be one Less set of footsteps on your floor,
[ F5 ]      [ A5 ]   [ C5 ] 
One Less man to walk in,
[ F5 ]                              [ G5 ] 
One Less pair of jeans upon your door,
[ A5 ]     [ D5 ]     [ G5 ]
One less voice a-talkin'.



[ C5 ]              [ F5 ]         [ G5 ]
But tomorrow's a dream away, 
      [ C5 ]               [ F5 ]         [ G5 ]
And today has turned to dust,
[ C5 ]         [ E5 ]       [ F5 ]       [ C5 ]
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
         [ F5 ]    [ C5 ]     [ Bb5 ]  [ G5 ]
And your golden rule to rust. 
[ C5 ]                        [ F5 ]         [ G5 ]
If that's the way that you want it,
                [ C5 ]   [ E5 ]    [ A5 ]  [ D5 ]
Well that's the way I want it more, 
                   [ C5 ]             [ G5 ]
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
        [ F5 ]          [ C5 ]
On your floor in the mornin'.
