INTRO: (bass line only: no chords)
 G5   F#5   D5   C#5   C5   G5   C5   C#5

VERSE 1:
 E5      D5      B5    E5
 One step ahead of you
         C5  G5            C5    E5
 Stay in motion, keep an open mind
 E5      D5        B5    E5
 Love is a race run by two
       C5  G5       C5   E5
 Your emotion, my solitude
      A5            D5    A5
 If I stop I could lose my head
        G5          C5   A5
 So I'm losing you instead
        D5       D5
 Either way I'm confused
             C5                 A5
 You slow me down - what can I do?
         D5             C5             E5    A5
 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...
