              (Intro) 
 
F  C  Dm  Bb 
 
(Verse) 
(F  C  Dm  Bb) 
I've seen the heart of darkness, 
Let's just say, I crossed over that line, 
Held hands with the hopeless, 
In too deep, on that ride, went around one more time, 
 
(Bridge) 
           C 
When you're standing on the edge, 
    Dm 
You don't look down, 
            Bb                   C 
Till you're ready and willing to fly, 
 
(Verse) 
(F  C  Dm  Bb) 
Now I'm, one step closer, 
With my arms open wide, 
Yeah, I'm one step closer, 
And I'm willing to try this time, 
 
(Verse) 
(F  C  Dm  Bb) 
I hitched a ride with forgiveness, 
In that river of emotion, 
I went down at third time, 
I spend the night with the living, 
Took a chance, looked inside, 
Didn't know who I'd find, 
 
(Bridge) 
C                              Dm 
Standing on the corner of the long goodbye, 
   Bb                          C 
All alone scared, i made up my mind, 
 
(F  C  Dm  Bb) 
I'm, one step closer, 
With my arms open wide, 
Yeah, I'm one step closer, 
                        Dm  C   Bb 
And I'm willing to try, 
 
 
(Bridge) 
                      Dm  C   Bb 
I'm sick of giving up, 
                      Dm  C   Bb 
There's a little luck, 
                        F  C  Dm  Bb 
I'm gonna get out of here, 
 
(SOLO) 
(F  C  Dm  Bb) 
 
(Bridge) 
            C        
When you're standing on the edge, 
 Dm 
Don't look down, 
           Bb                  C 
Til you're ready and willing to fly, 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(F  C  Dm  Bb) 
I'm, one step closer, 
With my arms open wide, 
Yeah, I'm one step closer, 
And I'm willing to try, yeah, 
I'm, one step closer, 
Yeah, I'm, one step closer
