George Strait - I Should Have Watched the First Step Chords

A
I once had a love,
                D
A true and lasting love,
            A
But the fool in me,
                      E
Came out one night.
                   A
And with her loving eyes,
                     D
She saw right through my lies.
              A
And she changed the night
  E                          A  
I stepped across the line.

A
I should've watched that first step.
                       D
It was a mighty big step.
          A                                E 
When i started stepping out of line.
                           A
Though she's still loving me,
                          D          
It's not the way it used to be.
        A                 E                      A
That first step did something to her mind.

A
I watched her slip away.
                   D
A little more everyday.
            A
For my conscience
                                    E
Couldn't live with all that shame.
                             A
Now she's growing colder
                       D
Since the day i told her.
             A
And the love we had
       E                A           
Will never be the same.

 
Repeat chorus

        D                        A                      E
