Lyrics

[Intro]
| Bm7/E | F#m7 | Bm7/E | F#m7 |
| Bm7/E | F#m7 | Bm7/E | F#m7 |

[Verse 1]
Bm7/E                  F#m7
     Are we really sure
          Bm7/E                        F#m7
Can a love     that lasted for so long still endure?
Bm7/E                  F#m7
     Do I, really care?    Hey, hey
          Bm7/E                                F#m7
Let's talk     about the distractions goin' on elsewhere

[Chorus]
Cmaj7                 Amaj7
I    keep hearin' footsteps, baby
            F#m7               Bm7 C#m7
In the dark,    oh, in the dark
Cmaj7                   Amaj7
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
            F#m7                Bm7   F#m7
In the dark,    oh, in the dark,   ooh

[Bridge]
| Bm7/E | F#m7 | Bm7/E | F#m7 |
| Bm7/E | F#m7 | Bm7/E | F#m7 |

[Verse 2]
Bm7/E                           F#m7
     My mind drifts now and then
            Bm7/E                                F#m7
Lookin' down     dark corridors and wonders what might have
been
Bm7/E                    F#m7
     Something's up ahead
Hey,
             Bm7/E                          F#m7
should I keep     this same direction or go back instead?

[Chorus 2]
Cmaj7                   Amaj7
I,   I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
            F#m7               Bm7 C#m7
In the dark,    oh, in the dark
Cmaj7                   Amaj7
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
            F#m7                Bm7   F#m7
In the dark,    oh, in the dark,   ooh

[Verse 3]
Bm7/E
     Honey,
         F#m7
now let's    stop walkin' around
Bm7/E             F#m7
     When there's love lost to be found
Bm7/E        F#m7
     Oh, and you know I still care,
            Bm7/E
I still care
                      F#m7
What's the sense in goin' elsewhere?

[Bridge]

[Verse 4]
Bm7/E                      F#m7
     Who feels really sure?
             Bm7/E                        F#m7
Can that feelin' guarantee your happiness shall endure?
Bm7/E                       F#m7
     And do we, really care?    Hey, hey
          Bm7/E
Let's look     at what's been happenin',
          F#m7
try to be more aware

[Chorus 3]
Cmaj7                   Amaj7
I,   I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
            F#m7               Bm7 C#m7
In the dark,    oh, in the dark
Cmaj7                   Amaj7
Why? I keep hearin' footsteps, baby
            F#m7                Bm7   F#m7
In the dark,    oh, in the dark,   ooh

[Verse 5]
Bm7/E      F#m7
     Yeah, let's stop walkin' around
Bm7/E                  F#m7
Well, when there's love    lost,
lost to be found
Bm7/E           F#m7
     Oh, honey, you know I still care,
       Bm7/E
I still     care
                      F#m7
What's the sense in goin', goin' elsewhere?

[Outro]
Bm7/E
     Oh, honey,
F#m7                           Bm7/E
let's stop walkin' around and around and around
             F#m7
When there's no  love to be found
Bm7/E           F#m7
     Hey, baby, you know, I still care,
            Bm7/E
I still care
                    F#m7
What's the sense of goin',
goin' elsewhere?
