Intro: DbAbEbDbAbEb
I'm stoned in the twilight
Ab/Eb
Screaming on the inside
Gb/DbDbAb
Give me your water, help me survive
Eb
Gonna miss the sunlight
Ab/Eb
When I lose my eyesight
Gb/DbDbAbEb
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
EbAb/Eb
And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head
DbAbEbBb/F
The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
EbAb/Eb
Put them in a box somehere, put them in a drawer
DbAbEbDbAb/CEbDbAb
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)
(InstrumentalVerse)
