[Verse]
C        D                G      G/B
Bags all packed, make sure you remember everything
C          D           G G/B
No looking back, no more; not for anything
C                D
This is what you wanted, isn't it?
G                 G/B
Clear it out just like you've never been
C            D             G   G/B
What's a goodbye good for, anyway?
        Em              C        G       D
There's nothing left of you to remind me
    Em                   C          G        D
But somehow you're still standing behind me
[Pre Chorus]
C
I'm trying hard to forget you
       D                                G
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
                              G/B
When you took it all, you forgot your shadow
C
You say you wish me well without you
    D                                     Em   D/F#  C
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, oh   oh
[Chorus]
N.C.
When you took it all you forgot
C          D              G
Your shadow, your shadow
                                 G/B
When you took it all you forgot
             C           D         Em  D/F# C
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, oh   oh
[Verse]
C             D
Hide all your photographs
G         G/B
But I can feel you watching me
C                  D
How long does your memory last?
G    G/B
It's time I ought to be
C             D
Moving on and getting over you
G                   G/B
I bet it looks like I'm not even trying to
C          D           G       G/B
Here all alone, my past on the walls
     Em              C        G      D
With nothing left of you to remind me
   Em                C           G      D
So why are you still standing behind me
[Pre Chorus]
C
I'm trying hard to forget you
       D                                G
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
                              G/B
When you took it all, you forgot your shadow
C
You say you wish me well without you
    D                                     Em   D/F#  C
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, oh   oh
[Chorus]
N.C.
When you took it all you forgot
C          D              G
Your shadow, your shadow
                                 G/B
When you took it all you forgot
             C           D         Em  D/F# C
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, oh   oh
[Bridge]
C
It's always there, too close, too much
    D
The shape of something I can't touch
  Em                          G
I turn, and find the shadow's grown
      C
Those empty eyes I begged to stay
    D
Are watching me from yesterday
        Em                           F
You can leave me, can you leave me alone?
[Pre Chorus]
C
I'm trying hard to forget you
       D                                G
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
       G/B
Let me go
C
You say you wish me well without you
    D                                     Em   D/F#  C
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, oh   oh
[Chorus]
C
When you took it all you forgot
C          D              G
Your shadow, your shadow
                                 G/B
When you took it all you forgot
             C           D         Em  D/F# C
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, oh   oh
[Outro]
When you took it all you forgot
          D             C
Your shadow, your shadow
              D            G
Bags all packed, make sure you remember everything
