[Verse 1]
      C
Memor-ies of yesterday
             F                    C
are stepping stones that pave the way
   C                               G
To heartaches of a love I can't forget
G             C
 I found this out to be so true
C           F           C
 For all my memories of you
     C                G            C
Have marked my lonely pathway of regret

[Chorus]
         C                    F
Stepping stones, they're only stepping stones
  C                                 G
I wish I'd never helped to pave the way
         C                       F
Stepping stones, your lies were stepping stones
C                      G       C     F   G7       C
That's why my heart is broke today.  Ah  ah a-a-a ah

[Verse 2]
        C
Moments sad and moments sweet
         F                    C
Are only stepping stones that meet
       C                          G    G7
At the end of the pathway of heartbreak
      C
Miser-y and bitter tears
        F                        C
In this night that's filled with fears
    C                    G             C
Are stepping stones that show me my mistakes

[Chorus]
         C                    F
Stepping stones, they're only stepping stones
  C                                 G
I wish I'd never helped to pave the way
         C                       F
Stepping stones, your lies were stepping stones
C                      G       C     F   G7        C
That's why my heart is broke today.  Ah  ah a-a-a ah
