G Em/B C G/D
Take your tiny feet out of your mother?s shoes
Bm Em Am7 D7
Or there?s is going to be a terrible scene
G Em/B C G/D
It?s not just a lipstick drawn on crooked when they
Bm Em
Find how wicked we are
B Bdim C
How wicked we have been
E Am
How I?ve been tempted
C G/D D C
How you tripped at every step
Em C Em
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
C Bm D/A C
Oh, how you tripped at every step
G Em/B C G/D
There?s a merry tune that starts in "I" and ends
Bm Em Am7 D7
In "You", like many famous pop songs do
G Em/B C G/D
You would sing along with little tell-tale staggers
Bm Em
While balancing on daggers
B Bdim C
Thou they were killing you
E Am
You looked so deadly
C G/D D C
As you tripped at every step
Em C Em
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
C Bm D/A C
Oh, how you tripped at every step
Eb Cm7 Ab6 G7
And I would try to catch you anytime you call
Cm7 Bb7
Only you drank that potion and went out of control
Eb Cm7 Ab6 G7
There?s nothing to stop you so how can you fall
C Am
Let me take your hand
Bb/F D/F#
Put down that frying pan
G Em/B C G/D
Darkness would become me, underneath the table
Bm Em Am7 D7
As the fury raged around the house
G Em/B C G/D
Your despairing tread was angry and unstable
Bm Em
You never suspected
B Bdim C
Just as this cartoon mouse
E Am
Went undetected
C G/D D C
As you tripped at every step
Em C Em
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
C Bm D/A C
Oh, how you tripped at every step
G Em/B C G/D
In another world of gin and cigarettes
Bm Em Am7 D7
Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye
G Em/B C G/D
Maybe that is why you find it hard to see me
Bm Em
And if you don?t believe me
B Bdim C
Before you start to cry
E Am
"Don?t eve leave me."
C G/D D C
As you tripped at every step
Em C Em
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
C Bm D/A C
Oh, how you tripped at every step
Original tune is in D-Major!
