Two Steps Forward
Soft rock
The lyric simply grew from the well-known phrase or saying… as is often the case. Any phrase can be used as a starting point for a lyric, which then takes on a life of its own.

HBD 18 Two steps forward and one step back
chorus
G D C
Two steps forward and one step back
D
The futures still hiding some way off down the track
Em A
So why is it me always takes the flack
C D G
Two steps forward and one step back
Verses
D
Heading onwards progress is real
Em
Don't let some little hindrance alter how you feel
C Bm
You're doing it right but things’ll sometimes go wrong
A D
But you know that what don't kill you’s gonna make you strong
Life’s a scrape but your body heals
You need your sense of humour just to grease those wheels
You know yourself when all s said and done
You need a sense of urgency to make you run
Em D
So what’ll ya do when you get there
Em D
When you can finally reach up and take your share
Em D
What ll it be like at journeys end
Em A D D7
Will you just sit back or want to start again
So get yourself back into the fray
The struggle makes a life worthwhile or so they say
Set your face out to the sun
Certain you can finish what you have begun
