^GTake your tiny feet ^Em/Bout of yo^Cur mother's^G/D shoes Or ^Bmthere's is going^Em to be a terri^Am7ble scene ^D7 ^GIt's not just a lips^Em/Btick draw^Cn on crooked w^G/Dhen they ^BmFind how wicke^Emd we are ^BHow wicked we hav^Bdime been ^C ^EHow I've been tempted ^Am

^CHow you tripped at every ste^G/Dp ^D ^C You tripped at every step^Em, you tripped at every^C step ^Em Oh, ho^Cw you tripped at every step ^Bm ^D/A ^C

^GThere's a merry tune th^Em/Bat starts in &q^Cuot;I&q^G/Duot; and ends In^Bm "You"^Em, like many famou^Am7s pop songs d^D7o ^GYou would sing along wi^Em/Bth little^C tell-tale^G/D staggers ^BmWhile balan^Emcing on daggers ^BThou they were killing ^Bdimyou ^C ^EYou looked so deadly ^Am

^CAs you tripped at every st^G/Dep ^D ^C You tripped at every ste^Emp, you tripped at every^C step ^Em Oh, ho^Cw you tripped at every step ^Bm ^D/A ^C

And I ^Ebwould try to catch yo^Cm7u anytime yo^Ab6u call ^G7 Only you ^Cm7drank that potion and went out of control ^Bb7 There's nothing^Eb to stop you^Cm7 so how can you fall^Ab6 ^G7 L^Cet me take your hand ^Am ^Bb/FPut down that frying pan ^D/F#

^GDarkness would become me,^Em/B underneath ^Cthe table ^G/D ^BmAs the f^Emury raged aroun^Am7d the house ^D7 ^GYour despairing tread w^Em/Bas angry an^Cd unstab^G/Dle ^BmYou n^Emever suspected Jus^Bt as this cartoo^Bdimn mouse ^C ^EWent undetect^Amed

^CAs you tripped at every st^G/Dep ^D ^C You tripped at every ste^Emp, you tripped at every^C step ^Em Oh, ho^Cw you tripped at every step ^Bm ^D/A ^C

^GIn another worl^Em/Bd of gin ^Cand cigarettes^G/D Those c^Bmocktail cabinets ^Emput mud in^Am7 your eye ^D7 ^GMaybe that is why y^Em/Bou find ^Cit hard to^G/D see me ^BmAnd if you do^Emn't believe me ^BBefore you start^Bdim to cry ^C ^E"Don't eve l^Ameave me."

^CAs you tripped at every st^G/Dep ^D ^C You tripped at every ste^Emp, you tripped at every^C step ^Em Oh, ho^Cw you tripped at every step ^Bm ^D/A ^C
