# This is my version of step. I realize it is higher than the original but easier to play, and it's better for higher voices.



C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Am Am G G
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl

Intro - C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Am Am G G F F C C F F G G x2


Verse 1:
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Back back way back I used to front like Angkor Wat

Am Am G G
Mechanicsburg Anchorage and Dar es Salaam

F F C C F F G G
While home from New York was champagne and disco tapes from L.A. slash San

Francisco

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
But actually Oakland and not Alameda
Am Am G G
Your girl was in Berkeley with her Communist reader
F F C C
Mine was entombed within boombox and walkman
F F G G
I was a hoarder but girl that was back then



Bridge :
(he hums badoom with it)

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Am Am G G



The Chorus is the same as the verse:

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Am Am
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
G G
What you on about?
F F C C F F G G
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Am Am
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
G G
Such a modest mouse,
F F C C F F G G
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Am Am G G
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl

F F C C F F G G


Verse 2:

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Ancestors told me that their girl was better
Am Am G G
She's richer than Croesus, she's tougher than leather
F F C C
I just ignored all the details of a past life
F F G G
Stale conversation deserves but a bread knife
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
And punks who would laugh when they saw us together
Am Am G G
Well, they didn't know how to dress for the weather
F F C C
I can still see them there huddled on Astor
F F G G
Snow falling slow to the sound of the master


Chorus


Bridge
(just play the same chord pattern)


Verse 3:

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Wisdom's a gift, but you'd trade it for youth
Am Am G G
Age is an honor - it's still not the truth
F F C C
We saw the stars when they hid from the world
F F G G
You cursed the sun when it stepped to your girl
C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Maybe she's gone and I can't resurrect her
Am Am G G
The truth is she doesn't need me to protect her
F F C C
We don't know the true death, the way of all flesh
F F G G
Everyone's dying, but girl - you're not old yet

Chorus

Beautiful song and great chords! To get closer to the original sound (which is a bit lower, as James says) I found turning it down 2 half-steps is very comfy for me, although the chords are a bit trickier! Thanks!
