The First Step Down Is The Longest chords

[C]The [F]first step down is the [C]longest

On your way down the [G7]ladder of dis[C]grace

Take the cap from the [G7]top of the [C]bottle

Just one drink then put it [G7]down that's what you [C]say

But [F]one drink just leads to [C]another

That's the first step [G7]you're well on your [C]way

The [F]first step down is the [C]longest

They get shorter the [G7]rest of the [C]way

Start talkin' to the [G7]wife of your [C]best friend

Tell her lines build her [G7]up she'll come [C]around

Win her [F]heart bring her down to your [C]level

That's another step [G7]you’re pretty far [C]down

The [F]first step down is the [C]longest

They get shorter the [G7]rest of the [C]way

Stay out late losing [G7]sleep till you can't [C]work

Go to places where you [G7]know you don't [C]belong

Lose your [F]job your home and your [C]family

You're on the bottom now [G7]and it didn't take [C]long

The [F]first step down is the [C]longest

On your way down the [G7]ladder of dis[C]grace
