His Shoes

Tom: Em

Em7            D
I remember the time
                C
Before you were mine
          D                  Em7
And I was dying to be in his shoes
                D
Now he's gone a way
               C
And I'm in his place
        D             G
But his memory hasn't moved
              C               D           Em7
The shadow he cast just grows larger than life
G           C            F             D
How can the past cut two hearts like a knife

G              C
I can't walk a way
              F
But how can I stay
    D            G
Any way I step I lose
                 C
My back's to the wall
              F
I stumble and fall
          D                   Em7
Trying to live my life in his shoes

Em7         D
He wasn't a saint
                  C
So what are these chains
   D                Em7
He holds on both of us
                 D
You give it your best
                  C
But you can't for get
       D                      G
And my love's not strong enou gh
             C         D            Em7
To put out a fire that someone else lit
G              C               F          D
Or walk in the footprints that never will fit
