<Sand in my Shoes>
(Intro)
C#m    F#
(Verse 1)
ETwo weeks away feels like the whole world should have changed
But I’m Bhome now, and things still look the same
EI think I’ll leave it till tomorrow to unpack, 
try to forgBet for one more night 
That I’m back in my flat
On the Eroad where the cars never stop going through the night 
To a lBife where I can’t watch the sun set, 
I don’t have C#mtime, I don’t have G#mtimeF#  
(Chorus)
C#mI’ve still got sand in my sBhoes and I can’t sF#hake the thought of you
C#mI should get on, forget Byou, but why would F#I want to
C#mI know we said goodbye, Banything else would F#been confused 
But EI ......Bwant to see you aF#gain
(Verse 2)
ETomorrow’s back to work and down to sanity
Should run a Bbath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here
ETry to remind myself that I was happy here before I Bknew that I could get
On a plane and fly away
From the Eroad where the cars never stop going through the night
To a Blife where I can watch the sun set 
and take my C#mtime, take all our G#mtimeF#  
(Chorus)
C#mI’ve still got sand in my sBhoes and I can’t sF#hake the thought of you
C#mI should get on, forget Byou, but why would F#I want to
C#mI know we said goodbye, Banything else would F#been confused 
But EI ......Bwant to see you aF#gain
EI ......Bwant to see you aF#gain
C#m (PERCUSSION FOR 8 BARS)
C#mI ......want to see you again
C#mTwo weeks away, all it takes, to cBhange and turn me F#around I’ve fallen
C#mI walked away, and never said, that BI wanted to F#see you again
C#mI’ve still got sand in my sBhoes and I can’t sF#hake the thought of you
C#mI should get on, forget Byou, but why would F#I want to

(Verse 1)

Two weeks away feels like the whole world should have changed

But I’m home now, and things still look the same

I think I’ll leave it till tomorrow to unpack,

try to forget for one more night

That I’m back in my flat

On the road where the cars never stop going through the night

To a life where I can’t watch the sun set,

C#m G#m F#

I don’t have time, I don’t have time

(Chorus)

C#m B F#

I’ve still got sand in my shoes and I can’t shake the thought of you

Tomorrow’s back to work and down to sanity

Should run a bath and then clear up the mess I made before I left here

E B

On a plane and fly away

From the road where the cars never stop going through the night

To a life where I can watch the sun set

and take my time, take all our time

(Chorus)
