Verse
Bb
Woke up cold one Tuesday
Db Ab
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
Bb Db F
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life
Bb
So I quickly opened the wardrobe
Db Ab Bb
Pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes
Db F
That were ripped around the seams
Ab
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me
[Refrão]
Bb F
Hey, I put some new shoes on
Eb
And suddenly everything is right
Bb F
I'm saying hey-ey, I put some new shoes on
Eb
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Bb F
I'm short on money for a long, long time
Eb
Slowly strolling in my sweet sunshine
Bb F
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
Eb
Wearing my brand new shoes

A room full of all my friends all dancing round and round

And I thought hello new shoes, bye bye them blues
