Yeah, but did you do it?
Uh uh, not guilty.
[C#m] He had [F#] it coming.
My sister Veronica and I had this double act, and my husband Charlie traveled [C#] around with [F#] us.
Now for the last number in our act, we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a row.
One, two, three, four, [F#m] five, splits, spread eagles, [B] backflips, flip flops, one right after [Bm] the other.
[G#] So this one [B] night before the show, we're down at the Hotel Cicero, the [G#] three of [D] us boozing, [C#] having a few [C#m] laughs.
[F#] And we run out of ice, so I go out [F#m] to get some.
I come [F#] back, open the door, [F#m] and [F#] there's Veronica and Charlie doing [F#m] number 17, [C#] [F#] the spread eagle.
[D] [N] Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out, I can't remember a thing.
It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands, I even knew they were dead.
[F] They had it coming, they had it coming, they had it coming, they had it all along.
[A#] I didn't do it, [A#m] but if I'd done [A#] it, [C#] how could you tell [C] me that [F] I was [C#] wrong?

[F#] I loved Al Lipschitz more than I could possibly say.
[F#m] [F#] He was a real artistic guy, sensitive, a painter.
[F#m] But he was always trying to [F#] find himself.
He'd go out every night looking for himself, and on the way, [F#m] he found Ruth, [B] Gladys, Rosemary, and [Bm] Irvings.
I guess you could say we broke up because of [D] artistic differences.
[C#] [F#m] He saw himself as alive, and I saw him dead.
[D] I'm a [C] dirty bum, [G] [Cm] I'm [C#] a dirty bum, I'm [C#m] a [C#] [F#]

[F#m] that I was wrong?
[D] [G] They had it coming, they had it coming, they had it coming, they had it all along.
We only had it, only so I could let [C] them in.
