Verse 1:
G D A
The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
C F G
And something in my mind just got away
G D A
Being in the places where we used to be
C F G
Somehow being there without you's not the same.
G D A
Parking lots, office parks and shopping malls
C F G
And all you left were bills you hadn't paid.
G D A
The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
C F G
And something in my mind just got away
F C D G
It's all behind you now, It's all behind you
F C D G
You're moving on, You're moving on
F C D G
They'll never find you now, They'll never find you
F D
You're moving on, on, on.
F D G
Daaaah dah dah dah dah dah dah,
F D G
Daaaah dah dah dah dah dah dah,
F G
Daaaaa, dah dah daaa
Verse 2
G D A
Alcohol, cigarettes and luxury goods,
C F G
Christmas lights look desperate in this room.
G D A
Winter's light left me in the dark last night
C F G
And Jingle Bells are smothered in this gloom.
G D A
Winter's trees freezing in the bitter wind
C F G
And autumn's leaves have all been blown away.
G D A
Being in the places where we used to be
C F G
Somehow being there without you's not the same.
