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!
