G
Mornings after it still lingers
Just waking up
                   Bm
I see a shadow of you
                       G
Making breakfast for two

G
I go driving past our place and
I see this girl walk by
                Bm
I smell her perfume
                            G
For a moment I wish it was you

               Bm
I'm not gonna tell ya
               A             G    A
I'm not gonna say that I'm okay, no
                  Bm
I'm tryin' to get over
                   A             G      A
I'm tryin' to get far away from our mistakes

Chorus:
    D
But I see shadows
       G
Everywhere that I go
      Bm     A
It's you, reminding me
    G
Of how we were
    A
Of how it was
D
I see shadows
       G
Everywhere they follow
     Bm       A
It's you and memories
    G
Of how we loved
      A                   G
I've had enough of your shadows

Four months gone
I can't feel you
I don't understand it
Where did you go?
I hate that you're all that I know

I'm not gonna tell ya
I'm not gonna say that I'm okay, no
I'm tryin' to get over
I'm tryin' to get far away from our mistakes

Chorus:
    D
But I see shadows
       G
Everywhere that I go
      Bm     A
It's you, reminding me
    G
Of how we were
    A
Of how it was
D
I see shadows
       G
Everywhere they follow
     Bm       A
It's you and memories
    G
Of how we loved
      A
I've had enough of your

Bm
Shadows
G
You couldn't love me
     A
So why won't you leave me
Bm
Shadows
  G                                C G A
Alone is the only place I want to be

I see shadows
Everywhere that I go
It's you, reminding me
Of how to love
I've had enough

E
I see shadows
       A
Everywhere they follow
      C#m       B
It's you, the memories
    A
Of how we loved
 B         E
I've had enough
        A
Your shadows
     C#m       B
It's you, the memories
    A
Of how we loved
      B                   A
I've had enough of your shadows

Your shadows
