  			G  
Do you think of her  
            D  
When you're with me  
            Em                       
Repeat that memories you made me together  
      C            
Who's face do you see?  
       G                     D  
Do you wish I was a bit more like her?  
         Em   
Am I too loud I play the clown 
         C 
To cover up these doubts  

G           
Perfect heart, she's flawless  
D                      Em  
She's the other woman, shining in her spendlor 
C  
You were lost  

          G  
Now she's gone  
        D  
And I'm picking up the pieces  
            Em  
I watch you cry  
                               C  
But you don't see that I'm the one by your side  
            G  
Cause she's gone 
       D  
In her shadow is it me you see  
                 Em  
Cause all that's left is you and I  
        C  
And I'm picking up the pieces  
           G  
She left behind  

          G                     D 
I found a photograph behind the TV  
            Em                        C 
You look so happy, are you missing the way it used be  
           G                                   D  
And I have changed this home around more often lately  
                Em                 
It's clear that me and these four walls  
                C  
Still know it's hers and yours 

G  
Perfect heart,she's flawless  
D  
She's the other woman  
Em 
Shining in her splendor 
C  
You were lost  

          G  
Now she's gone  
        D  
And I'm picking up the pieces  
            Em  
I watch you cry  
                               C  
But you don't see that I'm the one by your side  
            G  
Cause she's gone  
        D  
In her shadow is it me you see  
                 Em  
Cause all that's left is you and I  
        C  
And I'm picking up the pieces  
         G  
She left behind  

G  
Are we liars  
   D  
In denial  
                         Em  
Are we smoke without the fire  
                        C  
Tell me please, is this worth it  
   D  
I deserve it  

          G  
Now she's gone  
        D  
And I'm picking up the pieces  
            Em  
I watch you cry  
                           C  
But you don't see that I'm one by your side 
            G 
Cause she's gone 
       D  
In her shadow is it me you see  
                 Em  
Cause all that's left is you and I  
        C  
And I'm picking up the pieces  
         G  
She left behind
