Verse 1:
              E      B     D                Dbm A
She said "you always had a way with people"
E                      A
"a way of letting them leave"
   E                  D                               Dbm
My hands could be the church to your fingers' steeple
E                 A
  But you talk so mean
                   Gbm
She said "you know I love you"
          A
I said "remind me"
 
Chorus:
E
Life moves on
    B
The way life does
                    D
But some things are prettier
             Dbm
The way life was
                          Gbm                   A
Before we gave each other love, gave each other love
B          E
Life moves on

The way life does
                    D
But some things are prettier

The way life was
                          Gbm   A
Before we gave each other love, love
                E
And broken arms

Verse 2:
          E
Her silhouette
       Ab    D
Glowed so familiar
       Dbm   B
Through
               A
That blood red curtain
             E          Abm
I stood with strangers, gazing
       D                      Dbm  B
At the girl, that I once knew
                 A
But I've grown uncertain
                      Gbm
She said "It's just a bad dream"
                   A
But she looked too happy
 
Chorus:
B          E
Life moves on
             B
The way life does
                    E
But some things are prettier

The way life was
                          Gbm                   A
Before we gave each other love, gave each other love
B          E
Life moves on
             B
The way life does
                    E
But some things are prettier

The way life was
                          Gbm   A    E
Before we gave each other love, love

Before we gave each other up
