A	        E		            A
I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
		E	     A
I'm across the road from hope
	     G#m
I'm under a bridge in a rip tide
	F#m			  E
That's taken everything I call my own

Chorus:
A		     E
One step closer to knowing
A		     E
One step closer to knowing

I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, now I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing

Chorus:
A		     E
One step closer to knowing
A		     E
One step closer to knowing
A		    G#m
One step closer to knowing
  F#m	     E
Knowing, knowing

I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing

Chorus:
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing

One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing
