Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Lying all alone  in this midnight blue
 with nothing but these memories  of you
Staring  at these walls  that are closing in
 wondering if you're ever  coming back again
 Now I'm just a prisoner  in this big old bed
Living  with the things  that I should've said
 Why is it always  after someone's gone
 that you begin to see  where you went wrong
 I couldn't see you leaving,  but I can see you're gone
 That note you left on my pillow  said I was on my own
 I never heard you crying,  'cause I was seldom home
 I couldn't see you leaving,  but  I can see you're gone
 I just keep wondering where you are tonight
 And if someone else is holding you tight
 It took you walking out the door to see
 That I'm really nothing when you're not with me
 I did a good job of fooling myself
 Thinking that you're love would stay on the shelf
 But how could anybody be so blind
 To have to wake up alone and find
 Repeat Chorus:
 Repeat Chorus:
I  couldn't see you leaving,  but  I can see you're gone
