Say, my love, I came to you with best intention
You lay down and give to me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction
Hey my love do you believe that we
might last a thousand years
or more if not for this,
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
These things we cannot change
Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes
to this mouth grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, oh you quench my mind
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
Sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
The things we cannot
Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
These days continue, things we cannot change
Oh, my love I came to you
With best intention
You lay down and give to me
Just what I'm seeking
Celebrate we will
Because life is short
But sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
Things we cannot change

Here's another version from Jason Weathers:
Some people have been saying that Two Step is in Drop D tuning, and if
you've ever seen Dave in concert you'd see that he never tunes his guitar
to Drop D for this song. So here's the tab, and this song kicks ass.

Say, my love, I came to you with best intention
You lay down and give to me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction
Hey my love do you believe that we
might last a thousand years
or more if not for this,
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
These things we cannot change
Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes
to this mouth grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, oh you quench my mind
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
Sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
The things we cannot
Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
These days continue, things we cannot change
Oh, my love I came to you
With best intention
You lay down and give to me
Just what I'm seeking
Celebrate we will
Because life is short
But sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...

Say, my love, I came to you with best intention
You lay down and give to me just what I'm seeking
Love, you drive me to distraction
Hey my love do you believe that we
might last a thousand years
or more if not for this,
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me down
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
These things we cannot change
Hey, my love, you came to me like wine comes
to this mouth grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, oh you quench my mind
Celebrate we will
Because life is short but
Sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
The things we cannot
Celebrate, you and me, climbing two by two, to be sure
These days continue, things we cannot change
Oh, my love I came to you
With best intention
You lay down and give to me
Just what I'm seeking
Celebrate we will
Because life is short
But sweet for certain
We're climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change...
