It's been my unlucky season
                   C#m    D      Bm
Trying to find the way to get to you

For every step I take, you've taken two

A                           F#m
Midnight, trees all helter-skelter
              C#m    D    Bm

I know that you are always one step ahead
        E                  A             D
And I'm trying to find the way to get to you
