Lyrics

Do you think of her

when you’re with me?

Re peat the mem o ries you made to geth er?

Who’s (C)face do you see?

Do you wish I was

a bit more like her?

Am I too loud?

I play the clown to cov er up all these doubts.

(C)Per fect her.

She’s flaw less.

(D)She’s the oth (G)er wom an (C)shin ing in her splen dour.

(D)You were lost.

Now she’s (G)gone

and I’m pick in’ up the piec es.

I watch you cry but you don’t see that I’m the (C)one by your side.

’Cause she’s (G)gone.

In her shad ow is it me you (D)see?

’Cause all that’s left is you and I.

And I’m pick in’ up the piec es she left be hind.
