Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

C

Going back to the corner where I first saw you

G

Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I’m not gonna move

Am

Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand

F

Saying, “If you see this girl can you tell her where I am?”

F

Some try to hand me money, they don’t understand

G

I’m not broke, I’m just a broken-hearted man

Chorus

F

I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do?

G

How can I move on when I’m still in love with you?

C

’Cause if one day you wake up and find that you’re missing me

Am

And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be

F

Thinking maybe you’ll come back here to the place that we’d meet

G

And you’ll see me waiting for you on the corner of the street

F

So I’m not moving

G

I’m not moving

Verse 2

C

Police say, “Son, you can’t stay here.”

G

I say, “Sir, there’s someone I’m waiting for if it’s a day, a month, a year”

Am

Gotta stand my ground even if it rains or snows

F

If she changes her mind this is the first place she will go

F

People talk about the man who’s waiting on a dream

G

Well, life on the corner ain’t as bad as it may seem

Chorus

F

I know it makes no sense, but what else can I do?

G

How can I move on when I’m still in love with you?

Am

And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
