Intro:
C Em F C G

Verse:
C                                       Em
Richie sits with a vacant stare pulling labels off his beer
     F                                   C           G
It's 12 o'clock in the afternoon but his 5's already here
C                                        Em
Six minutes in he throws it out, what he just can't keep within
   F                                          C                 G
An on-the-rocks love and life back home, to a girl in love with him

Pre Chorus:
F              Dm
We, we stumble out
            Am
Amongst the crowd
                G
These hands of mine unsure
F             Dm
Can, can love exist
              Am
In dives like this
                  G
Somewhere in New York


Chorus:
    C                G
Cos I'm not one for dancing
    Am                 F
But I would waltz with you
C                G
I'm not one for falling
          Am         G          F
But I am trippin', trippin' on you
Fm
Trippin' on you


C Em


Verse:
C                             Em
Richie tells me Dylan used to walk these cobbled streets
F                                 C              G
He recites a couple lines but he hardly looks at me
C                          Em
"It aint me babe," he sang underneath his breath
F                                     C                   G
I can't remember if he smoked, but he reminds me of cigarettes


Pre-Chorus:
   F              Dm
As we, we stumble down
              Am
Amongst the crowd
                 G
Somewhere in New York


Chorus:
C                  G
I'm not one for dancing
   Am                  F
But I would waltz with you
C                G
I'm not one for falling
         Am         G             F
But I am trippin', trippin' on you
Fm            C
Trippin' on you


Em F C G


Verse:
C                          Em
Richie leaves like a wave, he's done this before
F                                             C              G
I stand and watch him walk away, towards the subway down on four
C                                          Em
Now and then I think of reaching out but I don't know what I'd say
F                                       C              G
Between the words we left unheard I can hear the music play


Chorus:
C                G
I'm not one for dancing
    Am                 F
But I would waltz with you
C                G
I'm not one for falling
         Am          G           F
But I am trippin', trippin' on you
 Fm         C    G   Am G F
Trippin' on you, ohhhhhhhhhh
Fm          C    G            Am
Trippin' on you, ohhhhhhhhhh, ohhhhhh
