If your a beginner and find these chords difficult, you could transpose down 2 semitones to G using the 
transposer tool and put your capo on second fret to play in the original key, A. 

Intro: (Each letter represents a strum) 
D D A A D D A A D D A A A E A  

                      D        A 
When I look into your eyes 
                          D     A 
See the world cut down to size 
               D         A 
Baby don't apologize 
                   E        A 
Takin' me one step over the line 

                         D      A 
When I touch your secret skin 
                        D     A 
Babe I know it ain't no sin 
                            D     A 
I feel you startin' to give in 
                      E         A 
Now let's go one step over the line 

(Instrumental Verse) 
                              D     A 
I know it's just your daddy's car 
                           D        A 
Your daddy never went this far 
                    D        A 
Baby we know who we are 
                  E        A 
Let's go one step over the line 

                      D         A 
I can be your drivin' wheel 
                          D         A 
We could make those tires squeal 
                       D       A 
Ooo I like the way it feels 
                   E        A 
Takin' it one step over the line 

F#m 
One step forward and two steps back 
             C#m 
It's for the first time baby 
D 
I'm talkin' cake walkin' into the black 
  B                       D          C#m 
A crossin' red line and I don't mean maybe 

(Instrumental Verse) 
                           D      A 
I hear they buried lover's lane 
                      D         A 
In a sea of tears and blame 
                         D        A 
It's you and me go up in flames 
               E         A 
Baby, one step over the line 

                             D         A 
They're drawin' boxes on the ground 
                        D       A 
Just to make us look on down 
                        D          A 
All we gotta do is look around 
                     E         A 
And take it one step over the line 

           E        A 
A one step over the line 
                       E        A 
Come on baby, one step over the line
