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.

In the morning when from slumber you awake

Find me sleeping like a baby by your side

Get up, get off to work

'Cause there are cakes that must be baked

But if there's things that I must do

I'd sooner let them slide

And you step out, when I step in

It is a dance that is bizarre

It is a dance that's wearing thin

And you step in, when I step out

Though we can't find the time for talking

Seems we find the time to shout

And late at night when I come fumbling for my keys

The house is dark and all is quiet

Get into bed it is so hard for me to please

You're barely hours away from work

And you're so tired

And you step out, when I step in

It is a dance that is bizarre

It is a dance that's wearing thin

And you step in, when I step out

Though we can't find the time for talking

Seems we find the time to shout

Some people pray for rain

Some people pray for holidays

Some people pray for money without swelter

But we just pray for two shifts

At the same end of the day

And a life that is not quite so helter skelter

And you step out, when I step in

It is a dance that is bizarre

It is a dance that's wearing thin

And you step in, when I step out

Though we can't find the time for talking

Seems we find the time to shout

You and me, oh we've been living in different worlds
