[Verse 1]

G F Am

The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year

F C G

And something in my mind just got away

G F Am

Being in the places where we used to be

F C G

Somehow being there without you's not the same.

G F Am

Parking lots, office parks and shopping malls

F C G

And all you left were bills you hadn't paid.

G F Am

The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year

F C G

And something in my mind just got away

[Chorus]

F C Dm G

It's all behind you now (It's all behind you)

F C Dm G

You're moving on (You're moving on)

F C Dm G

They'll never find you now (They'll never find you)

F#dim G G#dim

You're moving on, on...

Am Am7 F E

Aaaaaaaah dah dah dah dah dah ah,

[Verse 2]

G F Am

Alcohol, cigarettes and luxury goods,

F C G

Christmas lights look desperate in this room.

G F Am

Winter's light left me in the dark last night

F C G

And Jingle Bells are smothered in this gloom.

G F Am

Winter's trees freezing in the bitter wind

F C G

And autumn's leaves have all been blown away.

G F Am

Being in the places where we used to be

F C G

Somehow being there without you's not the same.

[Chorus]

F C Dm G

It's all behind you now (It's all behind you)

F C Dm G

You're moving on (You're moving on)

They'll never find you now (They'll never find you)

You're moving on, on...
