Eb
I'm stoned in the twilight
Ab
Screaming on the inside
Gb           Db             Ab
Give me your water, help me survive
Eb
Gonna miss the sunlight
Ab
When I lose my eyesight
Gb             Db               Ab   Eb
Give me my red shoes, I want to dance
Db
They search for an answer
         Ab
But that old man wouldn't listen
      Cm
Back then I was handsome
     Bb
Back then he was ignorant


[Chorus]
    Eb                            Ab
And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head
    Db         Ab           Eb            Bb
The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
Eb                           Ab
Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Db      Ab                 Eb        Db Ab     Db Ab
Take my red shoes, I can't wear them anymoooore

[Verse 2]
    Eb
Had garlands in the wings back then
        Ab
All the pretty little things back then
Gb             Db                 Ab
Calling out my name, oh what fame brings
      Eb
After curtain calls and bows
  Ab
I can't see the front row now
Gb             Db                  Ab  Eb
Hand me my red shoes just one more time
     Db
They pushed aside our presence
     Ab
They refused to go the distance
     Cm
Back then I was Sigmund
     Bb
Back then he wouldn't listen


[Chorus]
    Eb                            Ab
And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head
    Db         Ab           Eb            Bb
The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
Eb                           Ab
Put them in a box somewhere, put them in a drawer
Db      Ab                 Eb        Db Ab     Db Ab
Take my red shoes, I can't wear them anymoooore

Take my red shoes, I can't wear them anymore



                  Db    Ab  Eb
I can't wear them anymore

I can't wear them anymore
