Artist: Linkin Park Song: One Step Closer Album: Hybrid Theory Transcribed by: Ryan Sanders (ryan@ricknyephotography.com) Date: January 8, 2001 This is an incredible song.. I haven't seen any correct tabs out there.. they've come close, but not exactly. So hopefully I'll be able to do my best. These guys just ROCK!! If you don't have this CD, I would recommend going out and buying it.

I need a little room to breathe 'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge, I'm about to break! I find the answers aren't so clear Wish I could find a way to disappear All these thoughts they make no sense I found this in ignorance Nothing seems to go away Over and over again Just like before... -chorus- Shutup when I'm talkin to you! Shutup! Shutup! Shutup! Shutup when I'm talkin to you! Shutup! Shutup! Shutup! Shut up!! -chorus- There ya go... Let me know if there's any corrections that need to be made. Adios.
