MOVE

THE THINGS YOU SAID
AND THE WAY YOU SAID THEM
THIS IS WHAT LOVE SOUNDS LIKE
JUST BEFORE WE PART

AND HERE YOU ARE STANDING THERE
WAITING FOR ME TO SPEAK
FOR ME TO SAY A FEW WORDS
FOR ME TO PLAY YOUR PART

CHORUS
I COULD NOT MOVE
I COULD NOT MOVE
I COULD NOT FOR ALL THE LIFE IN ME, EVEN MOVE

I COULD NOT SAY THE WORDS YOU WANTED TO HEAR
I COULD NOT BE THE WOMAN YOU WANTED ME TO BE
I COULD NOT FOR ALL THE LOVE IN ME, EVEN MOVE

HOW DID WE GET HERE?
YOU USED TO BE SO LOVING
EVRYTHING I PROMISED YOU HAVE
ANYTHING YOU WANT I GAVE

CHORUS
GUITAR SOLO

BABY IT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE, THAT YOU WERE MOVING ON
WELL THAT´S THE PRIZE, FOR HOLDING ON
TO A LOVE THAT´S GONE





KEYCHANGE
CHORUS
