Verse 1:
A minorAm A minorAm DmDm DmDm
There's a light on in your window, there's a shadow on the street,
C majorC G+G DmDm DmDm
two silhouettes tell me it's over, the shadow knows that shadow's me.
A minorAm A minorAm DmDm DmDm
I won't crawl or cause you trouble, well, that's the last thing I'll ever do,
E minor 7Em7 F7F7 E7E7 E7E7
but before I leave your life completely, tell me who wears these Interlude: shoes,
Interlude:
A minorAm A minorAm DmDm DmDm
darling.
A minorAm A minorAm DmDm DmDm
Verse 2:
A minorAm A minorAm DmDm DmDm
Lord knows the days just get longer, the nights grow cold with you on my mind
C majorC G+G DmDm DmDm
and I feel like an old jukebox playing the same song all the time.
A minorAm A minorAm DmDm DmDm
If these crazy dreams don't kill me it's more than I can take from you,
E minor 7Em7 F7F7 E7E7 E7E7 A minorAm A minorAm
not knowing where or when I'll see you, not knowing, darling, who wears these shoes.
Chorus:

I want to know who's in my footsteps, I wanna know who wears these shoes.
C majorC C majorC G/BG/B G/BG/B
My friends all think I must be crazy, I see the facts but if it's true,

what do I do, what do I do?
Chorus:
