[Intro]

(Bb)  (G#)   (Bb)


[Verse 1]

(Bb)
Woke up cold one tuesday
(C#)                     (G#)
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick
(Bb)                                          (C#)          (F)
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life
   Bb
So i quickly opened the wardrobe
C#                         G#
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean
Bb
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes
           C#                F
That were ripped around the seams
        G#
And I thought these shoes just don't suit me


[Chorus]

Bb               F
Hey, I put some new shoes on
     Eb
And suddenly everything's right
    Bb                   F
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
       Eb
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
   Bb                   F
Oh, short on money but long on time
Eb
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
    Bb                          F
And I'm running late and I dont need an excuse
 Eb
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes


[Verse 2]

G# (Bb)
  Woke up late one thursday
    (C#)                  (G#)
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes
      (Bb)
And I felt like there were two days missing
   (C#)             (F)
As I focused on the time
      Bb
And I made my way to the kitchen
C#                          G#
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found
Bb
A room full of all of our friends
     C#                F
All dancing round and round
       G#
And I thought hello new shoes, bye bye them blues


[Chorus]

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


[Instrumental]

G# Bb   Bb   G# Bb


[Bridge]

                                       Bb
Take me wandering through these streets
                                    G# Bb
Where bright lights and angels meet
                               Bb
Stone to stone they take me on
                                 G# Bb
I'm walking to the break of dawn
                                      G# Bb
Take me wandering through these streets
                                   G# Bb
Where bright lights and angels meet
                              G# Bb
Stone to stone they take me on

I'm walking to the break of dawn


[Chorus]

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