[Verse 1]
C          F             G
We've been runnin' away from,
C            F         G
Somethin' we both know,
C            E7         F          C
We've long run out of things to say,
F            C       Bb    G
And I think I'd better go.

C            F        G
So don't be gettin' excited,
C             Em          Am           D7
When you hear that slammin' door,
C                  G
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
F                 C
On your floor in the mornin'.

[Verse 2]
C             F          G
And we've been hidin' from somethin',
C             F       G
That should have never gone this far,
C            E7          F      C
But after all it's what we've done,
F           C         Bb                G
That makes us what we are.

C           F                         G
And you've been talkin' in silence,
C        Em           Am     D7
Well, if it's silence you adore,
C                 G
Oh, there'll be one less set of footsteps
F                                     C
On your floor in the mornin'.

[Chorus]
F            C
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor,
F                Am          C
One less man to walk in,
F             G
One less pair of jeans upon your door,
Am          D                  G7
One less voice a-talkin'.

[Verse 3]
C        F          G
But tomorrow's a dream away,
C           F     G
And today has turned to dust,
C           E7          F          C
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
F        C          Bb        G
And your golden rule to rust.

C        F          G
If that's the way that you want it,
C         Em           Am              D7
Well, that's the way I want it more,
C             G
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
F         C
On your floor in the mornin'.

[Solo]

| C | F G | C E7 | Am D7 |
| C | G | F | C

[Chorus]
F                          C
Well, there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor,
F          Am         C
One less man to walk in,
F                G
One less pair of jeans upon your door,
Am          D    G7
One less voice a-talkin'.

[Verse 4]
           C            F           G
But tomorrow's a dream away,
C         F     G
And today has turned to dust,
C            E7         F        C
Your silver tongue has turned to clay,
F        C           Bb          G
And your golden rule to rust.

C            F        G
If that's the way that you want it,
C             Em           Am           D7
Well, that's the way I want it more,
C                   G
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
F                       C
On your floor in the mornin'.

C                    G
Oh, there'll be one less set of footsteps
F           C         G           C
on your floor in the mornin'
