[Intro]
C Em Am F

[Verse 1]
C Em
You taught me these chords I thought I’d never learn
Am F
We were only fifteen, but we grew fast in the dirt
C Em
You were the life of the party and a friend when it hurt
Am F
They say “Flames die quicker, the brighter they burn”

[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
And now I think about who we both become
C G F
I’ve done some growin’ up while you’re forever young
G Am
Your parents gave me your Vans when you were gone
C G F
They showed me where to turn when I come undone

[Chorus]
C Em
I wish you could hear me, and maybe you do
Am F
I want you to know that I still walk in your shoes
C Em
Though I’m moving on now, you’re still by my side
Am F
And we’ll be road trippin’ every step of my life
C Em Am F
I still walk in your shoes
C Em Am F
Yeah, I still walk in your shoes

[Verse 2]
C Em
We used to skip class, playing songs on the beach
Am F
I told you my fears and you told me your dreams
C Em
Those days by the ocean seem so far to reach
Am F
But every year we light a candle into the sea

[Bridge]
G Am C G F
I’m taking my sorrow because I wouldn’t be here
G
No, if it wasn’t for you
G Am C F
I’m trying to follow in the footsteps that you choose
