Its a tale of old shoes
    C             G
And soles of your feet
          Em            C
I've got blisters from running
   D
On beaches and streets

           G
I've been knocked down and out
         C              G
I've got eyes black and blue
     Em         C
I'm hit in the face
          D
when I'm talking to you

    C           G
Oh, don't lie down
    D
As soon as I sleep,
           C            G
you'll be leaving this town
     C         G
Oh, don't lie down
           Em
'Cause I'm lost
        D
And I'm young
       C
Got my mind in the clouds
       Em        D
And if I fall asleep
          D
You'll be leaving this town

       G
It's a tale of tied hands
    C          G
And holiday scenes
Continues after the ad
                   C
I've got romance in places
     D
that I've never been

         G
But I've said a hundred times
     C                G
That I'm all that you need
                          C
But you swear you're just stubborn
     D
and I'm just naïve


    C           G
Oh, don't lie down
    D
As soon as I sleep,
           C            G
you'll be leaving this town
     C         G
Oh, don't lie down
           Em
'Cause I'm lost
        D
And I'm young
       C
Got my mind in the clouds
       Em        D
And if I fall asleep
          D
You'll be leaving this town

Its a tale of old shoes

And soles of your feet
   G

   G
In the absence of sound
G
Will you sing back to me?

and tell me to dream?
