A Bb B C
 
Verse:
F
Woke up cold one Tuesday
Ab Eb
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
F Ab C
I felt like there were two days missing in my day to day life
F
So I quickly opened the wardrobe
Ab Eb F
Pulled out some jeans and a t-shirt that seemed clean
 
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes
Ab C
That were ripped around the seams
Eb
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me

F C
Hey, I put some new shoes on
Bb
And suddenly everything is right
F C
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
Bb
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting,
F C
Oh short on money but long on time
Bb
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
F C
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
Bb
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes

A room full of all my friends dancing round and round

And I thought hello new shoes, bye bye them blues

Bridge:
Eb F
Take me wondering through these streets
 
Where bright lights and angels meet
Eb F
Stone to stone they take me on
 
I'm walking to the break of dawn

Eb F
Where bright lights and angels meet

Stone to stone they take me on

I'm walking to the break of dawn
