FTake your tiny feet Am/Eout of yoFur mother?sC/G shoes
Or Dmthere?s is goingDm to be a terriDm7ble scene C7
FIt?s not just a lipsAm/Etick drawFn on crooked wC/Ghen they
DmFind how wickeDmd we are
AHow wicked we havEdime been F
AHow I?ve been tempted Dm
FHow you tripped at every steC/Gp G F
You tripped at every stepDm, you tripped at everyF step Dm
Oh, hoFw you tripped at every step Dm G/D F
FThere?s a merry tune thAm/Eat starts in &qFuot;I&qC/Guot; and ends
InDm "You"Dm, like many famouDm7s pop songs dC7o
FYou would sing along wiAm/Eth littleF tell-taleC/G staggers
DmWhile balanDmcing on daggers
AThou they were killing Edimyou F
AYou looked so deadly Dm
FAs you tripped at every stC/Gep G F
You tripped at every steDmp, you tripped at everyF step Dm
Oh, hoFw you tripped at every step Dm G/D F
And I G#would try to catch yoFm7u anytime yoC#6u call C7
Only you Fm7drank that potion and went out of control D#7
There?s nothingG# to stop youFm7 so how can you fallC#6 C7
LFet me take your hand Dm
D#/A#Put down that frying pan G/B
FDarkness would become me,Am/E underneath Fthe table C/G
DmAs the fDmury raged arounDm7d the house C7
FYour despairing tread wAm/Eas angry anFd unstabC/Gle
DmYou nDmever suspected
JusAt as this cartooEdimn mouse F
AWent undetectDmed
FAs you tripped at every stC/Gep G F
You tripped at every steDmp, you tripped at everyF step Dm
Oh, hoFw you tripped at every step Dm G/D F
FIn another worlAm/Ed of gin Fand cigarettesC/G
Those cDmocktail cabinets Dmput mud inDm7 your eye C7
FMaybe that is why yAm/Eou find Fit hard toC/G see me
DmAnd if you doDmn?t believe me
ABefore you startEdim to cry F
A"Don?t eve lDmeave me."
FAs you tripped at every stC/Gep G F
You tripped at every steDmp, you tripped at everyF step Dm
Oh, hoFw you tripped at every step Dm G/D F
