[Intro]
F Am G C
[Verse 1]
F
Please don’t move from where you are,
Am
'cause I’m looking up and seeing stars,
G
hoping that you’re somewhere doing the same,
C
remember that night when we gave 'em our names,
F
and this nostalgia of mine gets worse at night,
Am
it hurts so bad because they shine so bright,
G
they remind me of that hot night in June,
C
when you snuck me away to your bedroom
[Chorus]
F
And there we sat, with Fleetwood Mac,
Am
giving rhythm to a late night mood,
G C
oh I’m begging you baby, please don’t move.
F
And there we sat, with Fleetwood Mac,
Am
giving rhythm to a late night mood,
G C
oh I’m begging you baby, please don’t move.
[Verse 2]
F
Oh please don’t move from where you are
Am
whatever you do don’t go to far,
G
cause I’ll be back to relive those days when we were young
C
and on fire in our reckless ways,
F
running in the street your hand in my hand,
Am
with our dirty knees in the promise land,
G
cause we just got up from looking at the sky,
C
there’s not a damn star brighter than you and I
[Chorus]
F
And there we were, so damn sure,
Am
with the entire world to prove,
G C
oh I’m begging you baby, please don’t move
F
And there we were, so damn sure,
Am
with the entire world to prove,
G C
oh I’m begging you baby, please don’t move
[Verse 3]
F
Please don’t move from where you are,
Am
cause I’m looking up and seeing stars,
G
hoping that you’re somewhere doing the same,
C
remember that night when we gave 'em our names,
[Chorus]
F
And there we sat, with Fleetwood Mac,
Am
giving rhythm to a late night mood,
G
oh I’m begging you baby,
