A#
Woke up cold one tuesday,
C#                     G#
i'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,
A#                                            C#
i felt like there was something missing in my day
        F
to day life,
     A#
so i quickly opened the wardrobe,
C#                         G#
pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that
seemed clean,
A#
topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
          C#                 F
that were ripped around the seams,
        G#
and i thought these shoes just don't suit me.

Chorus:
A#               F
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
    D#
and suddenly everything is right,
       A#                F
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
    D#
and everybody's smiling, its so inviting,
     A#                  F
Oh, short on money, but long on time,
  D#
slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
    A#
and i'm running late,
            F
and i dont need an excuse,
           D#
'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.

Woke up late one Thursday
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes
And I felt like there were two days missing as
I focused on the time
Then I made my way to the kitchen
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found
The room full of all o' my friends
all dancing round and round
And I thought: Hello, new shoes, bye-bye blues

Chorus

A#
Take me wondering through these streets,
                                   G#
where bright lights and angels meet,
A#
stone to stone they take me on,
                                G#
im walking to the break of dawn.
A#                                    G#
Take me wondering through these streets,
A#                                  G#
where bright lights and angels meet,
A#                             G#
stone to stone they take me on,
   A#
im walking to the break of dawn.

Chorus:
Hey, I put some new shoes on
And suddenly everything is right
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Oh, short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
Oh hey, I put some new shoes on
And suddenly everything is right
I said hey, I put some new shoes on
And everybody's smiling, it's so inviting
Oh, short on money but long on time
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine
And I'm running late and I don't need an excuse
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes
