Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
The [G]love that I've [C]waited and
[G]longed for is here in my [C]arms at [G]last
But [C]she doesn't know all [G]about me I'm
just one step [D]ahead of my [G]past
Now I'm walking the [C]old straight and [G]narrow
but yesterday's [C]coming up [G]fast

[Verse 2]
'Cause you [C]can't keep people from [G]talking
I'm just one step ahead [D]of my [G]past
'Cause when [C]I played at love I made my
mistakes where [G]every[D]one could [G]see
Now I'm wondering if she'll under
[Em]stand is alway[A]s haunting me[D]

[Verse 3]
Will the [G]news break the [C]heart of my [G]darling
And close the door to my [C]future at [G]last
[C]Till the day she knows all [G]about me
I'm one step [D]ahead of my [G]past
[C][G]
