Hi, I'm Alvin L. and I tabbed this by ear. This is my first tab. Sorry if it sounds off, 
but this is how I play it. Enjoy !

Standard Tuning : EADGBe

Capo : 3rd Fret


Cadd9                      D
Bags all packed, make sure, you remember everything
G                       G/B
No looking back, no more; not for anything.
Cadd9                           D
This is what you wanted, isn't it?
                                        G
Clear it out just like you've never been
                         G/B
What's a goodbye good for, anyway?


Em                              C
There's nothing left of you to remind me
                                    D
But somehow you're still standing behind me

[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9
I'm trying hard to forget you
D                                       G
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
                               G/B
When you took it all, you forgot your shadow
Cadd9
You say you wish me well without you
D                                          Em  D/F#   Cadd9
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, ohhh,  ohhh

[Chorus]
*stop*
When you took it all you forgot
Cadd9       D            G
Your shadow, your shadow
                               G/B
When you took it all you forgot
           Cadd9        D         Em   D/F# Cadd9
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, ohhh, ohhh


Cadd9
Hide all your photographs,
D
But I can feel you watching me
G
How long does your memory last?
G/B
It's time I ought to be
Cadd9
Moving on and getting over you
D
I bet it looks like I'm not even trying to
G              G/B
Here all alone, my past on the walls


Em                             C
With nothing left of you to remind me
G                                D
So why are you still standing behind me

[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9
I'm trying hard to forget you
D                                       G
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
                               G/B
When you took it all, you forgot your shadow
Cadd9
You say you wish me well without you
D                                          Em  D/F#   Cadd9
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, ohhh,  ohhh

[Chorus]
*stop*
When you took it all you forgot
Cadd9       D            G
Your shadow, your shadow
                               G/B
When you took it all you forgot
           Cadd9        D         Em   D/F# Cadd9
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, ohhh, ohhh

[Bridge]
Cadd9             D
It's always there, too close, too much
Em                    G
The shape of something I can't touch
Cadd9           D             Em  F
I turn, and find the shadow's grown
Cadd9             D
Those empty eyes I begged to stay
Em              G
Are watching me from yesterday
Cadd9                     D        Em  F
You can leave me, can you leave me alone?

[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9
I'm trying hard to forget you
D                                       G
But my empty walls won't let me let you go
                               G/B
When you took it all, you forgot your shadow
Cadd9
You say you wish me well without you
D                                          Em  D/F#   Cadd9
But something 'bout you tells me that you know, ohhh,  ohhh

[Chorus]
*stop*
When you took it all you forgot
Cadd9       D            G
Your shadow, your shadow
                               G/B
When you took it all you forgot
           Cadd9        D         Em   D/F# Cadd9
Your shadow, your shadow, your shadow, ohhh, ohhh

*stop*
When you took it all you forgot
Cadd9        D
Your shadow, your shadow
G
Bags all packed, make sure you remember everything
