More songs by Pierce Pettis


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

INTRO: Gadd2        D  D4  /F#  A

   D                           F#m
      Here's how life seems to me
   D                    F#m
      Life is like therapy
   G
      It's real expensive
   D                A   A6  A7
      With no guarantees
   D                  F#m
      As I lay on the couch
   D                        F#m
      With my heart hangin' out
   G                  D
      I was frozen in fear
                         A   A6  A7
      Like a rock in the ground

        Bm      G   D   F#m
But you move me
Bm          G         D     /G   /F#  A
You give me courage I didn't know I had
    Bm      G   D   F#m
You move me
  Bm            G       D   /G    /F#  A
I can't go with you and stay where I am
       G (INTRO)
So you move me

      Here's how love was to me
      I could look and not see
      Going through the emotions
      Not knowing what they mean
      And it scared me so much
      That I just would not budge
      I might have stayed there forever
      If not for your touch

But you moved me
Out of myself and into the fire
You move me
Burning with love and hope and desire
How you move me

Em                  D/F#   G
   You go whistling in the dark
                     A
   Making light of it, making light of it
Em              D/F#    G
   And I follow with my heart
                    A   A6  A7
   Laughing all the way

You move we
You got me dancin' and you make me sing
You move we
I take delight in every little thing
As you move me
