...STEPPING INTO LINE... by Madness
------------------------...........

*Released 1979*


Intro:

E  B, E  B

Verse 1:

        E        B
I didnt want to,
      E           B
Leave you behind,
         E                        B
But your clothes weren't stepping,
E           B
 Into line.

C         B          C          B
 Too much self pity; not enough nitty gritty.
    A                  G
And just when you were looking pretty.
C               F            C            F
 Pretty boring, pretty drab; out of date, colours bad.

Verse 2:

    E            B
You should know,
   E               B
It stays the same;
   E            B
No individuals,
       E               B
Things haven't changed.

    C                 B
But if it's new, it's in the past;
C                B
 Everything goes by so fast;
C                    B
 Upstaged by the sup-porting cast.
      A                     G
Don't ask the girlfriend to throw it away;
      C                F
It'll be in fashion by next Friday.
C                        F
 Hoping our clothes have something to say. Take it away!

Solo:

E  B (x4)
C  B (x3)
A  G, C  F, C  F

Verse 3: 

    E               B
The in vogue clock,
     E               B
Goes spinning round,
E                  B
 Space age fasion,
      E               B
Lifts off the ground.

C                B
 Just accept the new faith;
C             B
 Try and look common place.
   A                G
In-stead of looking out of place.
    C                F
But cant you see I'm staying still?
     C                     F
That rich little bastard's made me ill.

Solo:

A  G, C  F, C  F
