E:-----------------------------------------------|-------------------------|
   Searching for the truth but all I ever find is  lies
   Trying to find identity but I just find a  dis- guise
   Looking at the nightmare when I try to see the  dream
   Finding   a     reality   as  perfect  as  it   seems

E:-----------------------------------------------|-------------------------|
   Looking down on everything it seems a total     bore
   Missing all the people that I've never met      before
   Trying to find an unknown something I consider  best
   I don't know if I'll find it, but until then I'll be depressed

ONE STEP AT A TIME (Bob Mould/Grant Hart)

This is a very simple piano piece transcribed 
for guitar (if you want to play it on the 
piano all you need are the chords: A, F#, G# and E 
and the following three notes which comprise 
the melody: B, C# and F#).

The easiest way to play it solo on the guitar 
is to do a spot of retuning. Drop the E, A and 


   A(hold)                 F#(hold)                G#(hold)

Going out each day to score

She was no whore

But for me
C#m
Celebrating every day

The way
                      Em
She thought it should be


Chorus:
      Bm                  Am
And I don't know what to do

Now that pink has turned to blue

C#m riff X 3

C#m
She was always by my side

And never tried
    Em
To leave
C#m
Standing up for me

And like a tree
               Em
For what she believed

Chorus:

      Bm                  Am
And I don't know what to do

G                    Fsus2(addD)       Csus2            (Riff-as above)

G                 Em7                 Csus2               D

G                  Fsus2(addD)            Csus2               (Riff)
He'd rather be all by himself because his plans, they seem the best.
G                   Em7                   Csus2         (Riff) D
He finally gets the nerve one day and now life becomes a       test.
