E5                                 A5 G5 A5 G5
Check you out in your big metal shoe
         E5                                B5 A5 A5 E5
Fighting so many kids, don't know what to do
       E5                                  A5 G5 A5 G5
You've got some heavy metal but big ain't bad
     E5                                C#5 F#5 G5 A5
This little Riding Hood's just way too rad


[Pre-Chorus 1]
A#5     D5
Mirror, mirror
                 C#5
Who will lose it all?
C5                 F5
Soundly whip those children
        A5             B5
Or your cradle's gonna fall


[Chorus 1]
           A5
'Cause I'm alive
                     E5
Like a puppet with a heartbeat
       A5
I'm on fire
                       E5
And I'm flying off the dope sheet
             A5
You're gonna wind
                           E5
Up like that robin at your last tweet
       C5
You're heading for a fall

And you're nearing the end
       D5
Like a house made of straw
                              E5
No one's putting you together again


[Break]
Em x4


[Verse 2]
E5                                  A5 G5 A5 G5
Best get nimble and you better be quick
       E5                                            B5 A5 A5 E5
Or I'm gonna break your bones with some stones and sticks
     E5                                 A5 G5 A5 G5
Run, run, run, run just as fast as you can
    E5                                C#5 F#5 G5 A5
You better make a wish like the fisherman


[Pre-Chorus 2]
A#5    D5
Ashes, ashes
                    C#5
Guess who's falling down
C5                F5
Sparring in glass slippers
           A5                  B5
And you're bound to break your crown


[Chorus 2]
             A5
And I'm just right
                     E5
Like a porridge at a nice heat
          A5
I'm gonna fly
                           E5
With the swans and show my beauty
          A5
Gonna get popped
                       E5
Like a weasel 'til you retreat
    C5
The sky is gonna fall

You'll be feeling the pain
          D5
You would be great and terrible
                      E5
But only if you had a brain


[Verse 3]
N.C.
Pop goes the weasel, time to defeat you
N.C.
Hickory dickory, flawless victory
A5         G5
Carve your tail like three blind mice
A5                    G5
Better listen up, I'm not saying it twice
E5
Ring around the rosie, you can't oppose me
N.C.
Let you know now, I'm here to take you down
B5                A5
You're gonna meet your end in a splendor
A5                  E5
No more pretending, your fall pending
     E5
Your star won't twinkle, squeeze to a wrinkle
N.C.
Bloody up the scene, a nightmarish fiend
A5                     G5
London Bridge is down, you can't make a sound
A5                     G5
The wheels on your bus have just been crushed
E5
Eenie-meenie-my, time for you to die
N.C.
Catch 'em by the toe, never letting go
C#5              F#5            G5
No time to pray, it's your last day
A5                     A#5
A-B-C-D, you can't see me

D5 C#5 C5
F5 A5 B5


[Chorus 1]
           A5
'Cause I'm alive
                     E5
Like a puppet with a heartbeat
       A5
I'm on fire
                       E5
And I'm flying off the dope sheet
             A5
You're gonna wind
                           E5
Up like that robin at your last tweet
       C5
You're heading for a fall

And you're nearing the end
       D5
Like a house made of straw
                              E5
No one's putting you together again
