[Db] [Bb]
[Ab] Poetry [Fm] in motion.
[Bbm] Walking by by [Eb] [Ab] her lovely [Fm] locomotion.
[Bbm] Keeps my [Eb] [Ab]
poetry [Fm] in motion.
[Bbm] See her [Eb] gentle sway.
[Ab] I'll wave out [Fm] on the ocean.
[Bbm] Could never [Eb] move [Ab] that way.

[Ab] Low number, [Fm] nylon potion, [Bbm] could [Eb] make me [Ab] love her more.
Oh, [Fm] oh woah, woah, [Bbm] woah, woah, [Eb] woah.
[Ab]
