Mov ing on

are not the same it seems to me.

’Cause you been gone, since I I’m grow ing old er but I (E)still (A)can’t (E)seem to get (A)you (E)off my (A)mind.

And I (E)do (A)be (E)lieve I feel (A)you (E)all the (A)time.

Mov ing on

and get ting o ver

and not the friends they used to be.

It’s been so long since I I’m grow ing hold you but I (E)still (A)can’t (E)seem to get (A)you (E)off my (A)mind.

And I (E)do (A)be (E)lieve I feel (A)you (E)all the (A)time.

Tell me I can have the fact you loved me to hold on to.

Tell me I can keep the door cracked o pen to let light through.

For (A)all my run ning, I (G#m)can’t (A)un der stand,

I’m one (A)text a way from (B)be ing back a gain.

But I’m mov (F#m9)ing on

and I’m get ting on,

I’m a get ting on,

I’m get ting o ver,

I’ve got to get o ver.

Mov ing on

and get ting o ver.

It’s been so long, it just goes to show you that I (E)still (A)can’t (E)seem to get (A)you (E)off my (A)mind.

And I (E)sure (A)would (E)like to see (A)you (E)one more time.

Do do do do do.

Do do do do do.

Do do do do do.

Do do do do do.

Do do do do do.

Do do do do do.

Do do do do do.

Do do do do do.

It’s tak en me (F#m9)so long

just to say, (B)“so long,”

and may be it’s (F#m9)so long, but I’m mov ing on.

I’m gon na get a (F#m9)new girl,

there’s some thing I can (B)do, girl,

to try to get me (F#m9)through, girl, ’cause I’m mov ing on.

I’m mov ing on, and I’m mov ing on.

I’m mov ing (F#m9)on,

and I’m mov ing on.
