Verse 1
A    
Woke up cold one tuesday,
C                     G
i'm looking tired and feeling quite sick, 
A                                             C          E       
i felt like there was something missing in my day to day life, 
     A
so i quickly opened the wardrobe, 
C                           G
pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean, 
A
topped it off with a pair of old shoes, 
          C                 E      
that were ripped around the seams,
             G 
and i thought these shoes just don't suit me. 

CHORUS -

A               E
Hey, I put some new shoes on, 
    D
and suddenly everything is right,
        A               E                 
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on 
    D
and everybody's smiling, its so inviting, 
    A                   E
Oh, short on money, but long on time,
D 
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
    A 
and i'm running late,
           E 
and i dont need an excuse,
           D 
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.
 
Verse 2
A
Woke up late one thursday,
C                       G
i'm seeing stars as i'm rubbing my eyes, 
      A
and i felt like there were two days missing, 
     C              E
as i focused on the time,
      A 
and i made my way to the kitchen,
C                          G 
but i had to stop from the shock of what i found,
A                             C                 E 
a room full of all my friends dancing round and round,
             G 
and i thought hello new shoes, byebye blues. 

CHORUS x 1

Breakdown x2 - (Miss some of the G's out on the first run through, you'll see what I mean)

G , A , G

A                                        G
Take me wondering through these streets, 
A                                    G
where bright lights and angels meet, 
A                               G
stone to stone they take me on,  
A   
im walking to the break of dawn. (x2)
