Tom: C
F
Steady now baby, steady now
C
Quit banging there on my door
F
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't wanna
C
Just have you right here on this floor
F
It's been years since I've found you, put my arms around you
C
And we twisted our limbs into dreams
F
Did that best to keep up with that wild lovin' cup
Dm Bb
'Til we both ran out of steam
C F
Our love ran out of steam
[Chorus]
Bb F
Steady now, steady
Bb F
Steady now, steady
Bb F
Steady now, steady
C
Steady now
[Verse 2]
F
Steady now baby, steady now
C
Quit jabbering outside my door
F
Used to jangle them keys like a dog scratching fleas
C
I ain't jangling keys anymore
F
I spent ten thousand days days like a runaway slave
C
Living a wild intoxicant style
F
Go ahead and get pissed, I don't mean it as a diss
Dm Bb
I need sleep for a little while
C F
Let me sleep for a little while
[Chorus]
Bb F
Steady now, steady
Bb F
Steady now, steady
Bb F
Steady now, steady
C
Steady now
[Bridge]
Dm Bb Am G
Steady now
Dm Bb Am G
Steady now
Dm Bb Am G
Steady now
Dm Bb Am C
Steady now
[Verse 3]
F
Steady now mermaid, steady now
C
You're swimming away from my door
F
Did I forget to feed you? Do you know that I need you?
C
Do I kneel on linoleum floor?
F
I know you can't be tamed but I ain't ashamed
C
To beg you for a god damn bone
F
I quit jangling my keys and I told her to leave
Dm Bb
Still I wait at your empty throne
C F
Must I wait at your empty throne?
[Chorus]
Bb F
Steady now, steady
Bb F
Steady now, steady
Bb F
Steady now, steady
C
Steady now
