New Shoes                                                              by Paolo Nutini

 

 

A   

Woke up cold one tuesday,

Cadd9                 G

i'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,

A                                             Cadd9      E      

i felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,

     A

so i quickly opened the wardrobe,

Cadd9                       G

pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,                              

A

topped it off with a pair of old shoes,

          Cadd9             E     

that were ripped around the seams,

              Dsus2

and i thought these shoes just don't suit me.

 

CHORUS -

 

A               E

Hey, I put some new shoes on,

    Dsus2

and suddenly everything is right,

        A               E                

I said, hey, I put some new shoes on

    Dsus2

and everybody's smiling, its so inviting,

    A                   E

Oh, short on money, but long on time,

Dsus2

slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,

    A

and i'm running late,

           E

and i dont need an excuse,

           Dsus2

'cause i'm wearing my brand new shoes.

 

Verse 2

A

Woke up late one thursday,

Cadd9                   G

i'm seeing stars as i'm rubbing my eyes,

      A

and i felt like there were two days missing,

     Cadd9          E

as i focused on the time,

      A

and i made my way to the kitchen,

Cadd9                      G

but i had to stop from the shock of what i found,

A                             Cadd9             E

a room full of all my friends dancing round and round,

              Dsus2

and i thought hello new shoes, byebye blues.

 

CHORUS x 1

 

Breakdown-

A                                        Cadd9

Take me wondering through these streets,

A                                    Cadd9

where bright lights and angels meet,

A                               Cadd9

stone to stone they take me on, 

   Dsus2

im walking to the break of dawn. (x2)

 

CHORUS (x2)

 

Dsus2

Take me wondering through these streets
