[Verse]
Em7I remember the Dtime
Before you were Cmine
And I was Ddying to be in his Em7shoes
Now he's gone a Dway
And I'm in his Cplace
But his Dmemory hasn't Gmoved
The shadow he Ccast just grows Dlarger than Em7life
GHow can the Cpast cut two Fhearts like a Dknife
GI can't walk a Cway
But how can I Fstay
Any Dway I step I Glose
My back's to the Cwall
I stumble and Ffall
Trying to Dlive my life in his Em7shoes

Em7He wasn't a Dsaint
So what are these Cchains
He Dholds on both of Em7us
You give it your Dbest
But you can't for Cget
And my Dlove's not strong enou Ggh
To put out a Cfire that Dsomeone else Em7lit
GOr walk in the Cfootprints that Fnever will Dfit
