Step In, Step Out
by Weddings, Parties, Anything
Words and Music by Michael Thomas
Transcribed by Dean Malone

Note: For those of you who aren't aware, Weddings are an Australian
folk/rock group
whose first album was released in 1987 (they've since made another 6 - all
big sellers in Australia). Probably their biggest claim to fame is that
they're reportedly U2's favourite group. This song is from "Difficult Loves"

Playing Notes: This is just a simple strum in 4/4. The only 'different
chord' is the
D/F# bass with the F# being played in the 4th string. Tempo is sort of
country-ish.


G      D                 A           D
In the morning when from slumber you awake
G       D               F#m          A
Find me sleeping like a baby by your side
    G              D
Get up, get off to work
                 A                  D
'Cause there are cakes that must be baked
               G                  D
But if there's things that I must do
           A
I'd sooner let them slide


Chorus:
             Bm  A            Bm  A
And you step out, when I step in
        G               D
It is a dance that is bizarre
        A                    D
It is a dance that's wearing thin
             Bm  A            Bm  A
And you step in,  when I step out
                G                 D
Though we can't find the time for talking
         A                G   D/F#  A
Seems we find the time to shout


G           D                 A               D
And late at night when I come fumbling for my keys
G            D               F#m   A
The house is dark and all is quiet
G        D            A              D
Get into bed it is so hard for me to please
              G               D
You're barely hours away from work
              A
And you're so tired


Chorus:
             Bm  A             Bm  A
And you step out,  when I step in
        G             D
It is a dance that is bizarre
        A                    D
It is a dance that's wearing thin
             Bm  A            Bm  A
And you step in,  when I step out
                G                 D
Though we can't find the time for talking
         A                G  D/F#  A
Seems we find the time to shout


     G               D
Some people pray for rain
            A        D
Some people pray for holidays
     G               D             F#m   A
Some people pray for money without swelter
    G                D
But we just pray for two shifts
       A               D
At the same end of the day
      G                D               A
And a life that is not quite so helter skelter


Chorus:
             Bm  A             Bm  A
And you step out,  when I step in
        G             D
It is a dance that is bizarre
        A                    D
It is a dance that's wearing thin
             Bm  A            Bm  A
And you step in,  when I step out
                G                 D
Though we can't find the time for talking
         A                G  D/F#  A
Seems we find the time to shout

G   D/F#  A
You and me, oh we've been living in different worlds

||:  Bm   A  :|| Repeat to fade
End on Bm
