I used to be disgusted, and [Abm] I tried to be amused, but [E] since the winds have got rusted.
You [A] know the angels [B] want to wear my [E] red [Ab] shoes, but when [A] they told me [Abm] not to [Gbm] sign [E] the bargain,
that's when I knew that I could not refuse, and [B] I won't get any older [A] now the angels [B] want to wear [A] my red shoes.
[E] Oh, [A] I was watching [B] while you're dancing [E] away, [B] I look at red [A] shoes in a [E] ignorant [A] way,
I told everybody I [B] want to [E] be your friend, [B] you know that it still hurts me just to say it.
Oh, I [E] know it's just disgusting, oh why is that?
[Abm] Cause you're feeling so abused, oh that's too bad.
She [A] gets tired of the love, oh I chose that, [B] that's so hard to refuse.
[A] Can you say that I'm too old [E] and the [B] angels have [A] stolen my red [E] shoes?
[A] I'm so [B] happy, [E] [B] she said right there they [A] left with it.
[E] [A] That's what you get if you [B] go chasing [E] after vengeance, [Abm] ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence.
[E] Oh, I used to be disgusted, when [Abm] I tried to be amused, [E] since the winter got rusted.
You [A] know the angels want to [B] wear my [E] red shoes, [A] but when they told me not to sign [E] the bargain,
that's when [A] I knew that [E] I could not refuse, and I [B] won't get any older [A] now the angels [B] want to wear [A] my red [E] shoes.
[B] I won't get any [A] older now the angels want [B] to wear [E] my red shoes.
[A] Red [E] Shoes, the Angels wanna wear [A] my red shoes, [Abm] [Gb] Red [E] Shoes, the [Gbm] Angels wanna wear [E] my [Gbm]
