#1.
A                                         D
I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, that's what I always said.
      E                                             A
Cause he had you, and everything, tied with  golden thread.
A                                    D
Then Charlie left and went away, and when I got the news..
   E                                                  A    D A
it wasn't long till I was walking around in Charlie's shoes.

CHORUS:
A                                          D
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
E                                 A
Walking back and forth across the floor.
A                                     D
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company..
      E                                     A  D A
these nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.

#2.
A                                         D
The greener grass that turned my head, so swiftly did turn brown.
      E                                                A
Cause every little dream I build, she's always tearing down.
A                                      D
I never knew old Charlie's shoes could have so many tacks..
   E                                            A    D A
of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had them back.

CHORUS:
A                                            D
Cause I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore.
E                                 A
Walking back and forth across the floor.
A                                     D
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company..
      E                                     A  D A
these nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.
