    Step Outside -    The Housemartins

Intro : G C Am D G G

         G                 C
Well the walls too wet to sit on
                Am                  G
And there's a curtain right over my head
                       C
Stomp my feet waiting for a bus
       Am      D    G
But decided to walk instead

           G               C
And the American saxophone follows me
        Am              D
All the way from the teller
              G
to the public house
                      C
My fingers are always in my ears
        Am           D      G  
But the reads always in the mouth

Chorus :
                 G                         C  
      And if you ever cross your heart and hope to die
      Am                         G      
      Voices in your head saying you must cry
      C                    Am                 D
      Then there's more to you than meets the eye
                 G                             C
      But if you go about your business with a capital 'B'
      Am                                G
      It is sure to catch you up with a capital 'C'
           C                  Am                  D
      And then you will be in debt with a capital 'T'{'A'/'B'}
                   G
      Just step outside

        G                      C   
Well we could stop for a conversation 
            Am          D        G    
If we could think of anything to say 
        G                          C
But you know you've got nothing to talk about
     Am               D     G
When nothing happened yesterday
         G                C 
And if I ever committed a murder
       Am           D          G   
Well I think I'd go about this way
      G                C             
Never mind a rope or a dagger and cloak
        Am              D       G
I could spend a week on this estate

Repeat chorus

G                  C 
What are you doing tomorrow
        Am                D
And the day after and the day after that
G                              C     
I've some money to spend I can borrow
     Am       D     G           
I've become a man I admire
