D    G     
G                                  C     
I'd like to be in Charlie's shoes, thats what I always said. 
       D                                     G 
'Cause he had you and everything tied with a golden thread. 
G                                   C 
Then Charlie left and went away and when I got the news. 
D                                           G 
It wasn't long till I was walking 'round in Charlie's shoes. 
 
G                                  C 
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore. 
D                             G 
Walking back and forth across the floor. 
G                                C 
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company. 
D                                   G              D    G 
These nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me. 
 
G                                        C 
The greener grass that turned my head so swiftly did turn brown. 
       D                                          G 
'Cause every little dream I've built she's always tearing down. 
G                                C 
I never knew old Charlie's shoes could have so many tacks. 
   D                                G 
Of disappointing sorrows and I wish he had 'em back. 
 
G                                  C 
Now I'm wearing out the shoes that Charlie wore. 
D                             G 
Walking back and forth across the floor. 
G                                C 
The troubles that drove him away I've got for company. 
D                                   G              D    G 
These nights in Charlie's shoes are killing me.
