Suggestions and corrections are always welcome!
[G]Take your tiny feet [Em/B]out of yo[C]ur mother?s[G/D] shoes
Or [Bm]there?s is going[Em] to be a terri[Am7]ble scene[D7]
[G]It?s not just a lips[Em/B]tick draw[C]n on crooked w[G/D]hen they
[Bm]Find how wicke[Em]d we are
[B]How wicked we hav[Bdim]e been[C]
[E]How I?ve been tempted[Am]
[C]How you tripped at every ste[G/D]p[D][C]
You tripped at every step[Em], you tripped at every[C] step[Em]
Oh, ho[C]w you tripped at every step[Bm][D/A][C]
[G]There?s a merry tune th[Em/B]at starts in "I[C]" and e[G/D]nds
In[Bm] "You", like man[Em]y famous pop song[Am7]s do[D7]
[G]You would sing along wi[Em/B]th little[C] tell-tale[G/D] staggers
[Bm]While balan[Em]cing on daggers
[B]Thou they were killing [Bdim]you[C]
[E]You looked so deadly[Am]
[C]As you tripped at every st[G/D]ep[D][C]
You tripped at every ste[Em]p, you tripped at every[C] step[Em]
Oh, ho[C]w you tripped at every step[Bm][D/A][C]
And I [Eb]would try to catch yo[Cm7]u anytime yo[Ab6]u call[G7]
Only you [Cm7]drank that potion and went out of control[Bb7]
There?s nothing[Eb] to stop you[Cm7] so how can you fall[Ab6][G7]
L[C]et me take your hand[Am]
[Bb/F]Put down that frying pan[D/F#]
[G]Darkness would become me,[Em/B] underneath [C]the table[G/D]
[Bm]As the f[Em]ury raged aroun[Am7]d the house[D7]
[G]Your despairing tread w[Em/B]as angry an[C]d unstab[G/D]le
[Bm]You n[Em]ever suspected
Jus[B]t as this cartoo[Bdim]n mouse[C]
[E]Went undetect[Am]ed
[C]As you tripped at every st[G/D]ep[D][C]
You tripped at every ste[Em]p, you tripped at every[C] step[Em]
Oh, ho[C]w you tripped at every step[Bm][D/A][C]
[G]In another worl[Em/B]d of gin [C]and cigarettes[G/D]
Those c[Bm]ocktail cabinets [Em]put mud in[Am7] your eye[D7]
[G]Maybe that is why y[Em/B]ou find [C]it hard to[G/D] see me
[Bm]And if you do[Em]n?t believe me
[B]Before you start[Bdim] to cry[C]
[E]"Don?t eve leave [Am]me."
[C]As you tripped at every st[G/D]ep[D][C]
You tripped at every ste[Em]p, you tripped at every[C] step[Em]
Oh, ho[C]w you tripped at every step[Bm][D/A][C]
Original tune is in D-Major!
