Verse:
Em              Dsus2
A note by the door 
C        
Simply explains
Am
It's all that remains
Em               Dsus2 
It's no wonder why 
                    C    Am
I have not slept in days
Em                  Dsus2
  The dust on the floor
      C 
Piled up from the years 
          Am
All those scars and souvenirs
Em              Dsus2
Now that you're gone 
             C  Am
It's easy to see 

Prechorus
Am
But so hard to believe 

Chorus

Em     D
By the way
D                
You left without saying
     C   
Goodbye to me
               Em       D
Now that you're gone away 
D           
All I can think about is
C 
You and me 
You and me

Verse
Em               Dsus2
It's not like before 
     C
You left nothing here 
      Am
It's all disappeared 
Em            Dsus2
It hurts me to see 
                 C   Am
That we've been a lie 

Prechorus:

Am  palm muted  
Would it have hurt you to try? 

Chorus:

Em      D
By the way 
D               
You left without saying 
    C
Goodbye to me 
                 Em    D
Now that you're gone away 
D
All I can think about is 
C
You and me 
You and me

But it's time to say

That this pain is keeping me alive

It's been tearing me apart

Now that you're gone away 
D
All I can think about is 
C
You and me 
You and me
