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
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
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
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
Eb Ab Gb Db Bb Eb Ab Gb Db Bb Db Ab Cm Bb
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
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
Take my red shoes, I can't wear them anymore
Db Ab Eb
I can't wear them anymore
Db Ab Eb
I can't wear them anymore
