	  		Intro: Db  Ab  Eb  Db  Ab
 
    Eb 
I'm stoned in the twilight
Ab/Eb
Screaming on the inside
Gb/Db        Db               Ab
Give me your water, help me survive
Eb
Gonna miss the sunlight
Ab/Eb
When I lose my eyesight
Gb/Db      Db                  Ab    Eb
Give me my red shoes, I want to dance
Db                
They search for an answer
         Ab/C
But that old man wouldn't listen
     Cm7
Back then I was handsome
     Bb/F
Back then he was ignorant
 
    Eb                           Ab/Eb
And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head
    Db         Ab          Eb           Bb/F
The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
Eb                         Ab/Eb
Put them in a box somehere, put them in a drawer
Db      Ab                Eb          Db  Ab/C  Eb   Db  Ab  
Take my red shoes, I can't wear them anymo__________re
 
Had garlands in the wings back then
All the pretty little things back then
Calling out my name, oh what fame brings
After curtain calls and bows
I can't see the front row now
Hand me my red shoes just one more time
 
They pushed aside our presence
They refused to go the distance
Back then I was Sigmund
Back then he wouldn't listen
 
(CHORUS)
 
(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE)
 
     Db              
They pushed aside our presence
       Ab/C
They refused to go the distance
     Cm7
Back then I was Sigmund
     Bb/F
Back then he wouldn't listen
     Cm7
Back then I was handsome
     Bb/F
Back then he was ignorant
 
    Eb                           Ab/Eb
And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head
    Db         Ab          Eb           Bb/F
The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
Eb                         Ab/Eb
Put them in a box somehere, put them in a drawer
Db      Ab/C               Eb           Db
Take my red shoes, I can't wear them anymore.
