One Less Set Of Footsteps
Jim Croce

words and music by Jim Croce

C                F      G  
We been runing away from
C                 F   G
Something we both know
      C        E7      F         C 
We've long run out of things to say
       F      C      Bb G
And I think I better go
C                     F    G
So don't be getting excited
         C         Em       Am  D7
When you hear that slamming door
                   C                G
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsteps
         F           C
On your floor in the morning

And we've been hiding from something
That should have never gone this far
But after all it's what we've done
That makes us what we are
And you've been talking in silence
Well if it's silence you adore
Oh there'll be one less set of footsteps
On your floor in the morning

CHORUS:

                 F                                 C
Well there'll be one less set of footsteps on your floor
F        Am     C 
One less man to walk in
F                                G
One less pair of jeans upon your door
Am        D       G7
One less voice a'talking


But tomorrow's a dream away
Today has turned to dust
Your silver tongue has turned to clay
And your golden rule to rust
If that's the way that you want it
Well that's the way I want it more
'Cause there'll be one less set of footsetps 
On your floor in the morning

REPEAT from CHORUS to end
