[Intro]
[Bm – G – D – A]
[Clean guitar + ambient pad]
[Verse 1]
[Bm]
Fluorescent flicker, midnight rain
[G]
Your shadow dancing on the pavement
[D]
You turned like you already knew my name
[A]
Like we were just late to the same moment
[Bm]
Cold air, your breath in silver lines
[G]
Streetlight halos in your hair
[D]
You laughed like you were out of time
[A]
And I forgot I had been going nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
[Em]
For a while
[Bm]
Everything went quiet
[G]
Like the world stepped back
[A]
Just to let us try it
[Chorus]
[G]
Now your shape still hangs inside these rooms
[D]
Like dust in the light of an afternoon
[Bm]
I move ahead but every road runs through
[A]
The space I never learned to fill of you
[G]
Every song just sounds like something gone
[D]
Every night just stretches out too long
[Bm]
I tell myself that I’ll be fine without you
[A]
But I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
[Post-Chorus Hook – light EDM pulse enters]
[Bm – G – D – A]
[Sidechained pad swelling underneath]
[Verse 2]
[Bm]
Morning comes like it always did
[G]
Coffee cold on the windowsill
[D]
I say I’m good, I fake a little bit
[A]
Like moving on is just a learned skill
[Bm]
Your side still sleeps in perfect lines
[G]
Like no one ever laid there
[D]
I tried to leave you somewhere in time
[A]
But you’re still folded in the air
[Pre-Chorus]
[Em]
Now the streets
[Bm]
All feel automatic
[G]
Every step repeats
[A]
Something we once had and
[Chorus]
[G]
Your name still flickers in the rearview glass
[D]
A light I swore was fading at last
[Bm]
I learned to breathe in all this empty blue
[A]
But every breath still carries traces of you
[G]
Every face is just a passing ghost
[D]
Every touch feels like it matters most
[Bm]
I build a life that I can stand to move through
[A]
But it’s not one I ever wanted without you
[Bridge – drop drums, ambient + vocal focus]
[F#m]
Maybe we were just a moment
[G]
Trying hard to be a life
[D]
Maybe love is just a shadow
[A]
That looks real in the right light
[F#m]
I still reach for you in silence
[G]
Like you’re just outside my view
[Hold G]
Like if I just stay here long enough
Everything rewinds to you
[Build – reintroduce pulse]
[Bm – G – D – A]
[Arpeggiated synth grows, tension rising]
[Final Chorus – full instrumentation]
[G]
Now your shape still echoes when I move
[D]
In every space I tried to make for something new
[Bm]
I carry on like people always do
[A]
But nothing ever fits the way you used to
[G]
Every road just bends back to your name
[D]
Every fire burns but not the same
[Bm]
I’m learning how to live with half the view
[A]
Of a life I only ever saw with you
[Outro – stripped back]
[Bm]
Fluorescent flicker, empty rain
[G]
A ghost of something I can’t replace
[D]
I walk these streets but they don’t feel the same
[A]
Since you stopped standing in that space
[Bm – G – D – A]
[Fade out with pad + distant guitar echoes]
