Steady Now Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Steady now baby, steady now
Quit banging there on my [A]door
I'd be [D]lying if I told you I didn't wanna
Just have you right here on this [A]floor
It's been [D]years since I found you,
put my arms around you
And we twisted our limbs into [A]dreams
Did our [D]best to keep up with
that [G]wild loving cup
[D]Till [Bm]we both ran out [G]of steam
Our love ran [A]out of steam
[D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Steady now lady, [G]steady [D]now
Quit jabbering outside my [A]door
I used to [D]jangle them keys like
[G]a dog scratch[D]ing fleas
I ain't jangling keys any[A]more
I spent [D]ten thousand days
like [G]a run[D]away slave
Living wild and toxic [A]in style
Go [D]ahead and get pissed
I don't [G]mean it [D]as a diss
I need [Bm]sleep for a little [G]while
Let me sleep for a [A]little [D]while

[Verse 5]
[D]Steady now, mermaid, [G]steady [D]now
Are you swimming away [A]from my door?
Did [D]I forget to feed you?
Do you [G]know that I [D]need you?
Do I kneel on linoleum [A]floor?
I know [D]you can't be tamed,
and [G]I ain't a[D]shamed
To beg you for a goddamn [A]bone
I quit [D]jangling my keys
and I [G]told her [D]to leave
Still I [Bm]wait at your empty [G]throne
Must I wait at your [A]empty [D]throne?
