D Bm/F# G D/A Take your tiny feet out of your mother's shoes F#m Bm Em7 A7 Or there is going to be a terrible scene D Bm/F# G D/A It's not just the lipstick drawn on crooked when they F#m Bm Find how wicked we are F# F#dim G How wicked we have been B Em How I've been tempted G D/A A G How you tripped at every step Bm G Bm You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step G F#m A/E G Oh, how you tripped at every step D Bm/F# G D/A There's a merry tune that starts in "I" and ends F#m Bm Em7 A7 in "You", like many famous pop songs do D Bm/F# G D/A You would sing along with little tell-tale staggers F#m Bm While balancing on daggers F# F#dim G Though they were killing you B Em You looked so deadly G D/A A G As you tripped at every step Bm G Bm You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step G F#m A/E G Oh, as you tripped at every step F Gm7 And I would run to catch you Eb6 D7 Anytime you call Gm7 Only you drank that potion Eb7 And went out of control F Gm7 There's nothing to stop you Eb6 D7 So how can you fall G Em Let me take your hand Eb/Bb A/C# Put down that frying pan D Bm/F# G D/A Darkness would become me, underneath the table F#m Bm Em7 A7 As the fury raged around the house D Bm/F# G D/A Your despairing tread was angry and unstable F#m Bm You never suspected F# F#dim G Just as that cartoon mouse B Em Went undetected G D/A A G So you tripped at every step D Bm/F# G D/A In another world of gin and cigarettes F#m Bm Em7 A7 Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye D Bm/F# G D/A Maybe that is why you find it hard to see me F#m Bm And if you don't believe me F# F#dim G Before you start to cry B Em "Don't ever leave me." G D/A A G As you start to lose your grip G D/A A G You will stumble and you slip G D/A A G As you tripped at every step Bm G Bm You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step G D/A A G Oh, as you tripped at every step
