        Gm
I would tell you about the things
They put me through
    Dm
The pain I've been subjected to
 Gm              F          Dm
But the Lord himself would blush
     Gm
The countless feasts laid at my feet
    Dm
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
 Gm               F                    Dm
But I think your pulse would start to rush

Gm                      Dm
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Gm                   Dm
Forgiveness for the things I do
Gm                     F       C#
But before you come to any conclusions

A#
Try walking in my shoes
Gm
Try walking in my shoes

Chorus:
                     Dm
You'll stumble in my footsteps
A/C#                       A#
Keep the same appointments I kept
A                      A#
If you try walking in my shoes
C                     Dm
If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate's made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn't have been purer
My case is easy to see

I'm not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I've been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Chorus;
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

C                       Dm
Now I'm not looking for absolution
C                      Dm
Forgiveness for the things I do
C                      F       C#
But before you come to any conclusions
A#
Try walking in my shoes
Gm
Try walking in my shoes

Chorus:
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes

Chorus:
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
