Grab Your Shoes by Andrew Allen
Tabbed by: tgmle
This tab is based on his various live performances on YouTube, such as:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UiK8ciGtKA
Andrew alternates between the simple and barre versions of the chords throughout
the song so just play however feels good.
The lyrics were typed up by me based on the studio version of the song. Enjoy!

[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D
We took the door off of the hinge
G
Wrote a letter to the landlord saying we're sorry but
D
The world kept knocking
G
And it's too damn pretty to not see the city
D
So the windows had to go too
G
And there's no skylights so we cut a few
Em G D
This love is way too big
Em A
To be kept in this tiny apartment so
[Chorus]
G D
Grab your shoes
A Bm
The clothes that you got on will have to
G D
Doo-oo-ooh~
A Bm
The key's in the door and the rent's in the mailbox
G D
I'll take the wheel, you take the window
Bm Em D G
Maybe I'm nuts but the city's not big enough for
D A
Me and you-ooh
D
So grab your shoes
[Verse 2]
D
We pushed a square into a hole
G
That was made for circle-jumping hurdle after hurdle
D
It's kind of getting old
G
And we're way too young to not have fun
D
So if the world keeps bugging you
G
Well knock it down and make a little more room
Em G D
This love is way too big
Em A
So let's not keep it waiting, oh
[Chorus]
G D
Grab your shoes
A Bm
The clothes you got on will have to
G D
Doo-oo-ooh~
A Bm
The key's in the door and the rent's in the mailbox
G D
I'll take the wheel, you take the window
Bm Em D G
Maybe I'm nuts but the city's not big enough for
D A
Me and you-ooh~
Yeah~
[Bridge]
D
Leave our couch sitting on the sidewalk
G
Leave our TV lying in the alley
Bm
All of the clothes we don't have on
A
Go out through the window and onto the lawn
D
The mattress goes in the dumpster
G
That stupid lamp, why even bother?
Bm
We've always been more than enough
A
And I know there's a place somewhere better for us
Em G D
'Cause this love is way too big
Em A
To be kept in this tiny apartment
[Chorus]
G D
Grab your shoes
A Bm
The clothes that you got on will have to
G D
Doo-oo-ooh~
A Bm
The key's in the door and the rent's in the mailbox
G D
I'll take the wheel, you take the window
Bm Em D G
Maybe I'm nuts but the city's not big enough for
D A
Me and you-ooh
Em D A
Oh, me and you-ooh
D
So grab your shoes
