Sung by John Hiatt and Rosanne Cash on the second 'Will the Circle be Unbroken' Album
If your a beginner and find these chords difficult, you could transpose down 2 semitones to G using the
transposer tool and put your capo on second fret to play in the original key, A.
Intro: (Each letter represents a strum)
D D A A D D A A D D A A A E A
D A
When I look into your eyes
D A
See the world cut down to size
D A
Baby don't apologize
E A
Takin' me one step over the line
D A
When I touch your secret skin
D A
Babe I know it ain't no sin
D A
I feel you startin' to give in
E A
Now let's go one step over the line
(Instrumental Verse)
D A
I know it's just your daddy's car
D A
Your daddy never went this far
D A
Baby we know who we are
E A
Let's go one step over the line
D A
I can be your drivin' wheel
D A
We could make those tires squeal
D A
Ooo I like the way it feels
E A
Takin' it one step over the line
F#m
One step forward and two steps back
C#m
It's for the first time baby
D
I'm talkin' cake walkin' into the black
B D C#m
A crossin' red line and I don't mean maybe
(Instrumental Verse)
D A
I hear they buried lover's lane
D A
In a sea of tears and blame
D A
It's you and me go up in flames
E A
Baby, one step over the line
D A
They're drawin' boxes on the ground
D A
Just to make us look on down
D A
All we gotta do is look around
E A
And take it one step over the line
E A
A one step over the line
E A
Come on baby, one step over the line
(Instrumental verses to finish)
