Ebm
Are you trying to put me on?
I turned around and it was gone
Bb
Did I leave it in your car?
On a table, in a bar?
Ebm
Or in your bed, between the sheets?
The places where we used to meet?
Bb
Wherever love has gone, I need to know
Ebm
'Cos she's a woman
Bsus4
Oh yeah baby she's a woman
Bb Ebm
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma, she's a lady

Oh, and I just love the way she moves
Bb
The way she moves...
...watch her.
Yeah

When you left

F# B
I was hanging by a thread and then I met her
G#m Bbm
Selling pictures of herself to German businessmen
Bb
Well, that's all she wants to do

Ebm
Come on, come on!
G#
I don't want to try too hard
C#
I don't want to wait too long
F#
I don't want to live alone
B
With all this crap that pulls me down
G#m Bbm
Oh, tell me now how would it feel
Bb
If I could touch you once again?
Ebm
Where have you gone?
G#
Where have you gone?
C#
The moon has gone down
F#
On the sun
B
Oh yeah I know that you're coming home
G#m
You couldn't leave me on my own
Bbm
Everybody, can't you see?
Bb
She's coming back to me!
Whilst you were gone
I got along
I didn't die
I carried on
Oh ma ma
You got to hold me tight
So I could make it through the night
Stayed in bed all day
To feel OK
I felt OK
Oh I felt
Ebm
sick and tired
yes I did
she lived at her father's place
Bb
played his records
though they jumped
wore her body
back to front
Ebm
I tried hard to make it work
Kissed her where she said it hurt
Bb
But I was always underneath
Ebm
'Cos she's a woman
Bbsus4
Oh yeah baby, she's a woman
Bb Ebm
Ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma ma, she's a lady
Bbsus4
And I just love the way she moves
Bb
The way she moves, oh...
Ebm
I don't know why you pretend
That it causes you pain
When you know very well
You're gonna do it again
You're gonna do it again
You're gonna do it again
and again
and again and again and again and again
and keep it going
going all night long!
Ma ma ma ma...
Shake it, shake it, shake your body, yeah
Oh, I know it's going to happen.
It might not be today.
It might not be tomorrow
Or even the day after
But sometime soon
You're gonna see
You're gonna, you're gonna, you're gonna...
...come back to me!
Whilst you were gone
G#
I got along
C#
