Capo on 1st Fret

[Intro]

C Am Dm C G

[Verse]

I keep waking at night in the freezing cold

Staring at the shadows coming up the walls

Dm C G

Giving me a feeling I can't define

"Is there anyone there?" I say to the dark

But all I get back is a beating heart

Dm C G

Going out of rhythm and I realize

[Pre-Chorus]

G# D# Fm

Oh, something's changed

G# D# G

Oh, something's changed

[Chorus]

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why

Dm C G

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know

C Am

All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me

I open my eyes and it reminds me

C G

I should have never let you go

[Verse]

Look up there don't you see her face

That familiar heart, that familiar shape

Dm C G

Are giving me a feeling, I can't define

[Pre-chorus]

G# D# Fm

Oh, something's changed

G# D# G

Oh, something's changed

[Chorus]

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why

Dm C G

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know

C Am

All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me

I open my eyes and it reminds me

C G

I should have never let you go

[Bridge]

I wanna throw my arms around you

Tell everyone I found you

Em Am Dm G

But you're just a shadow in my mind

You know you've got me so enchanted

Why you gotta be cold-hearted

Em Am Dm G

Dancing on your own in the cold streetlight

[Chorus]

It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds

It's just a mind trick, I don't know why

Dm C G

But it reminds me of someone that I used to know

C Am

All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me

I open my eyes and it reminds me

C G

I should have never let you go
