His Shoes

Intro: (Em7)  (D)  (C)  (D)  x 2  
 
(Em7) I remember the (D) time 
Before you were (C) mine 
And I was (D) dying to be in his (Em7) shoes 
Now he's gone a(D)way 
And I'm in his (C) place 
But his (D) memory hasn't (G) moved 
The shadow he (C) cast just grows (D) larger than (Em7) life 
(G) How can the (C) past cut two (F) hearts like a (D) knife 
 
   (G) I can't walk a(C)way 
   But how can I (F) stay 
   Any (D) way I step I (G) lose 
   My back's to the (C) wall 
   I stumble and (F) fall 
   Trying to (D) live my life in his (Em7) shoes   
 
(D)  (C)  (D) 
 
(Em7) He wasn't a (D) saint 
So what are these (C) chains 
He (D) holds on both of (Em7) us 
You give it your (D) best 
But you can't for(C)get 
And my (D) love's not strong enou(G)gh 
To put out a (C) fire that (D) someone else (Em7) lit 
(G) Or walk in the (C) footprints that (F) never will (D) fit
