’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,

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.

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.
