        C#
I keep waking at night in the freezing cold
A#m
Staring at the shadows coming up the walls
D#m                           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
Going out of rhythm and I realize

A  E             F#m
Oh, something's changed
A  E              G#
Oh, something's changed

Chorus:
            C#
It's just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds
            A#m
It's just a mind trick, I don't know why
         D#m                                 G#       G#
But it reminds me of someone that I used to know
            C#                                  A#m
All that I can't forget, is every night right beside me
                        D#m
I open my eyes and it reminds me
                            G#
I should have never let you go

Look up there don't you see her face
That familiar heart, that familiar shape
Giving me a feeling, I can't define

Oh, something's changed
Oh, something's changed

Chorus

F#
I wanna throw my arms around you
F#m
Tell everyone I found you
    Fm             A#m          D#m G#
But you're just a shadow in my mind
F#
You know you've got me so enchanted
F#m
Why you gotta be cold-hearted
Fm              A#m         D#m        G#
Dancing on your own in the cold streetlight

Chorus:
You're just a silhouette, a flick in the blinds
Just a mind trick, I don't know why
But it reminds me of someone that I used to know
Oh that I can't forget, it's there every night right beside me
I open my eyes and it reminds me
I should have never let you go

Silhouette
Mind trick
Reminds me
Of someone that I used to know
Of someone that I used to know
Can't forget
