​My Song

New Shoes
        Verse 1:​
Bm           G        D
    A journey into the night
Bm           G        D
    Rain is pouring, but I don't mind
Bm           G        D
    Shoes still shining, oh so bright
Bm           G        D
    Leaving all my worries behind
      
        Verse 2:
​Bm           G       D
    I am free to walk away
Bm           G        D
    I will conquor who I want to be  
Bm           G        D
    You can't stop me from going my way
Bm           G        D                      A
    Step back and watch me be free

        ​Chorus: x2
    D                Bm
    I'm just hittin' the street
    G                A
    With new kicks on my feet
    D                Bm
    Making steps to new places 
    G                 A
    Showing off my new laces
    
              Verse 3:
Bm        G       D
    I wander to the store
Bm        G       D
    Just browsing shelf by shelf
Bm        G       D
    I had to buy one more
Bm        G       D            A
    I just can't help myself

             Chorus: x2
    D                Bm
    I'm just hittin' the street
    G                A
    With new kicks on my feet
    D                Bm
    Making steps to new places 
    G                 A
    Showing off my new laces
