Eb

I'm stoned in the twilight

AbEb

Screaming on the inside

GbDb Db Ab

Give me your water, help me survive

Eb

Gonna miss the sunlight

AbEb

When I lose my eyesight

GbDb Db Ab Eb

Give me my red shoes, I want to dance

Db

They search for an answer

AbC

But that old man wouldn't listen

Cm7

Back then I was handsome

BbF

Back then he was ignorant

Eb AbEb

And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head

Db Ab Eb BbF

The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed

Eb AbEb

Put them in a box somehere, put them in a drawer

Db Ab Eb Db AbC Eb Db Ab

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)

(INSTRUMENTAL VERSE)

Db

They pushed aside our presence

AbC

They refused to go the distance

Back then I was Sigmund

And shave off the years now, it's all inside my head

The boy in the red shoes is dancing by my bed
