       A#                      F/A
Going back to the corner where I first saw you,
     D#
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, no I'm not gonna move,
     A#                        F/A
Got some words on cardboard got your picture in my hand,
   D#
Saying if you see this girl can you tell her where I am,

Some try to hand me money, they don't understand
I'm not broke, I'm just a broken-hearted man
I know it makes no sense, what else can I do?
And how can I move on when I'm still in love with you?

Chorus:
          A#                                 F
'Cause if one day you wake up and find that you're missing me
         Cm                                   D#
And your heart starts to wonder where on this earth I could be
          A#                                  F
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
      Cm                                 D#
And you'd see me waiting for you on the corner of the street
           A#     F
So I'm not moving
        Cm    D#
I'm not moving

Policeman says, "Son, you can't stay here"
I say, "There's someone I'm waiting for
If it's a day, a month, a year"
Gotta stand my ground, even if it rains or snows
If she changes her mind, this is the first place she will go

Chorus:
'Cause if one day you wake up, and find that you're missing me
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
And you'll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street
So I'm not moving
I'm not moving
I'm not moving
I'm not moving

Gm                    D#
People talk about the guy
                    F        Cm
Who's waiting on a girl, oh whoa
Gm                          D#
There are no holes in his shoes
                       F   Cm
But a big hole in his world

 D#                           F
Maybe I'll get famous as the man who can't be moved
     D#                                 F
And maybe you won't mean to but you'll see me on the news
                D#                  F
And you'll come running to the corner
                                Cm
'Cause you'll know it's just for you
I'm the man who can't be moved
I'm the man who can't be moved

Chorus:
'Cause if one day you wake up, and find that you're missing me
(find you're missing me)
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
(oh, where on Earth I could be)
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
(to the place that we'd meet, oh, oh)
And you'll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street
(on the corner of the street)
So I'm not moving

'Cause if one day you wake up, and find that you're missing me
(I'm not moving)
And your heart starts to wonder where on this Earth I could be
(I'm not moving)
Thinking maybe you'll come back here to the place that we'd meet
(I'm not moving)
And you'll see me waiting for you, on the corner of the street

Going back to the corner
Where I first saw you
Gonna camp in my sleeping bag
I'm not gonna move
