[G] [D/F#] [C]


Going[G] back to the corner where [D/F#]I first saw you,
Gonna[Am] camp in my sleeping bag, no I'm [C]not gonna move,
Got so[G]me words on cardboard got[D/F#] your picture in my hand,
Saying[Am] if you see this girl can you tel[C]l her where I am,
Some try to[G] hand me money they don't[D/F#] understand,
I'm not... b[Am]roke I'm just a broken hearted man,[C]
I know it ma[G]kes no sense, but what els[D/F#]e can I do,
How c[Am]an I move on when I'm still in lo[C]ve with you...


'Cause if o[G]ne day you wake up and find that y[D]ou're missing me,
And your he[Am]art starts to wonder where on this earth[C] I could be,
Thinking [G]maybe you'd come back here to the [D]place that we'd meet,
And you'd s[Am]ee me waiting for you on the corn[C]er of the street.


So I'm not[G] moving.[D]..
I'm not [Am]moving. [C]


[G] [D/F#] [C]


[G] Policeman says, son you[D/F#] can't stay here,
I said there's so[Am]meone I'm waiting for if[C] it's a day, a month, a year,
[G]Gotta stand my ground ev[D/F#]en if it rains or snows,
If s[Am]he changes her mind this is the f[C]irst place she will go.


'Cause if o[G]ne day you wake up and find that y[D]ou're missing me,
And your he[Am]art starts to wonder where on this earth[C] I could be,
Thinking [G]maybe you'd come back here to the [D]place that we'd meet,
And you'd s[Am]ee me waiting for you on the corn[C]er of the street.


So I'm not[G] moving.[D]..
I'm not [Am]moving. [C]
I'm not [G]moving..[D].
I'm not [Am]moving. [C]


[Em] People talk a[Em7]bout the [Cadd9]guy
Who's w[Cmaj7]aiting on a [D6]girl...[D]
Oo[Am]hoohw[Asus2]oo
[Em] There are no [Em7]holes in his s[Cadd9]hoes
But a big [Cmaj7]hole in his [D6]world..[D].
Hm[Am]mmm [Asus2]


[Cmaj7]Maybe I'll get famous as the [D]man who can't be moved,
And m[Am]aybe you won't mean to but you'll se[D]e me on the news,
And you'll come [Cmaj7]running to the corner...[D]
'Cause you'll know it's just f[Am]or you


I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man[C] who can't be moved...


'Cause if o[G]ne day you wake up and find that y[D]ou're missing me,
And your he[Am]art starts to wonder where on this earth[C] I could be,
Thinking [G]maybe you'd come back here to the [D]place that we'd meet,
And you'd s[Am]ee me waiting for you on the corn[C]er of the street.


So I'm not[G] moving.[D]..
I'm not [Am]moving. [C]
I'm not [G]moving..[D].
I'm not [Am]moving. [C]


Going[G] back to the corner where [D/F#]I first saw you,
Gonna[Am] camp in my sleeping bag, I'm [C]not gonna move.
