The Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes Chords & Lyrics - Elton John

[VERSE 1]
I'm [Eb]stoned in the twilight
[Ab]Screaming on the inside
[Gb]Give me your [Db]water, help me [Ab]survive
[Eb]Gonna miss the sunlight
[Ab]When I lose my eyesight
[Gb]Give me my red [Db]shoes, I want to [Ab]dance[Eb]
[Db]They search for an answer
But that [Ab]old man wouldn't listen
Back t[Cm]hen I was handsome
Back [Bb]then he was ignorant

[CHORUS]
And [Eb]shave off the years now, it's [Ab]all inside my head
The [Db]boy in the [Ab]red shoes is [Eb]dancing by my [Bb]bed
[Eb]Put them in a box somewhere, [Ab]put them in a drawer
[Db]Take my [Ab]red shoes, I can't [Eb]wear them [Db]any[Ab]moooore[Db] [Ab]

[VERSE 2]
Had [Eb]garlands in the wings back then
All the [Ab]pretty little things back then
[Gb]Calling out my [Db]name, oh what fame [Ab]brings
After [Eb]curtain calls and bows
I [Ab]can't see the front row now
[Gb]Hand me my red [Db]shoes just one more [Ab]time[Eb]
They [Db]pushed aside our presence
They [Ab]refused to go the distance
Back [Cm]then I was Sigmund
Back [Bb]then he wouldn't listen

[CHORUS]
And [Eb]shave off the years now, it's [Ab]all inside my head
The [Db]boy in the [Ab]red shoes is [Eb]dancing by my [Bb]bed
[Eb]Put them in a box somewhere, [Ab]put them in a drawer
[Db]Take my [Ab]red shoes, I can't [Eb]wear them [Db]any[Ab]moooore[Db] [Ab]

[BRIDGE]
They [Db]pushed aside our presence
They [Ab]refused to go the distance
Back [Cm]then I was Sigmund
Back [Bb]then he wouldn't listen

[CHORUS]
And [Eb]shave off the years now, it's [Ab]all inside my head
The [Db]boy in the [Ab]red shoes is[Eb] dancing by my[Bb] bed
[Eb]Put them in a box somewhere, [Ab]put them in a drawer
[Db]Take my [Ab]red shoes, I can't [Eb]wear them [Db]any[Ab]more

I can't wear them [Db]anymor[Ab]e [Eb]
I can't wear them [Db]anymor[Ab]e [Eb]
