[Intro]
C#m E A G#
F#m A E C#m

[Verse 1]
C#m E
I still watch you when you're groovin'
A G# F#m
As if through water from the bottom of a pool
A
You're moving without moving
E C#m
And when you move, I'm moved

C#m E
You are a call to motion
A G# F#m
There all of you a verb in perfect view
E
Like Jonah on the ocean
A C#m
When you move, I'm moved

[Pre-Chorus]
A F#m C#m
When you move, I'm put to mind of all that I wanna be
A F#m E B
When you move, I could never define all that you are to me

[Chorus 1]
C# C#/E#
So move me, baby
F#m A G#
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
E B C#m
You do it naturally, move me baby
[Verse 2]
C#m E
You are the rite of movement
A G# F#m
Its reasoning made lucid and cool
A
And though it's no improvement
E C#m
When you move, I move

C#m E
You're less Polunin leapin'
A G#
Or Fred Astaire in sequins, honey
F#m E
You, you're Atlas in his sleepin'
A C#m
And when you move, I'm moved

[Pre-Chorus]
A F#m C#m
When you move, I can recall something that's gone from me
A F#m E B
When you move, honey, I'm put in awe of somethin' so flawed and free

[Chorus 2]
C# C#/E#
So move me, baby
F#m A G#
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
E B C#m
You do it naturally, move me baby

C# C#/E#
So move me, baby
F#m A G#
Like you've nothing left to prove
E B C#m
And nothing to lose, move me baby

[Bridge]
C#m G# B F# A
Ooh, ooh, ooh
B
Oh baby, oh baby
C#m G#
Move like grey skies
B F#
Move like a bird of paradise
A B
Move like an odd sight come out at night

[Instrumental]
C#m Fm F#m A
G# E B E C#m

[Chorus 3]
C# C#/E#
So move me, baby
F#m A G#
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
E B C#m
You do it naturally, move me baby

C# C#/E#
So move me, baby
F#m A G#
Like you've nothing left to prove
E B C#m
And nothing to lose, move me baby

[Outro]
C# C#/E#
So move me, baby
F#m A G#
Shake like the bough of a willow tree
E B C#m
You do it naturally, move me baby
