New Shoes
Paolo Nutini
[A] Woke up cold one Tuesday,
[C] I’m looking tired and [G] feeling quite sick,
[A] I felt like there was something missing in my [C]day to day [E]life,
so I [A]quickly opened the wardrobe,
[C]pulled out some jeans and a [G]T-Shirt that seemed clean,
[A]topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
that were [C]ripped around the [E]seams,
and I thought [D]these shoes just don't suit me.
Chorus:
[A] Hey, I put some [E]new shoes on,
and [D] suddenly everything is right,
I said, [A] hey, I put some [E] new shoes on
and [D] everybody's smiling, it’s so inviting,
Oh, [A] short on money, but [E] long on time,
[D] slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
and [A] I’m running late,
and I dont [E] need an excuse,
'cause I'm [D] wearing my brand new shoes.
[A] Woke up late one Thursday,
[C] I'm seeing stars as I'm [G] rubbing my eyes,
and I [A]felt like there were two days missing,
as I [C]focused on the [E] time,
and I [A] made my way to the kitchen,
[C] but I had to stop from the [G] shock of what I found,
[A] A room full of all my friends [C] dancing round and [E] round,
and I thought [D] hello new shoes, bye-bye blues.
Chorus:
Bridge:
[A]Take me wandering through these streets, [C]
[A]where bright lights and angels meet, [C]
[A]stone to stone they take me on, [C]
I’m [D]walking to the break of dawn. - x2 -
Chorus: x2
[D]Take me wandering through these streets
