Am   Em    F   C/E
Dm       C

[Verse 1]
Am        Em                   F C/E
Everybody loves the things you do
                 Dm                  C   
From the way you talk to the way you move
Am        Em              F    C/E
Everybody here is watching  you
                     Dm                            C     CC/B
'Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come  true
Am        Em                  F   C/E
But if by chance you're here alone
             Dm              C CC/B
Can I have a moment before I go
Am                  Em               F   C/E
'Cause I've been by myself all night long
              Dm                Gsus4G
Hoping you're someone  I used to know

[Pre-Chorus]
                 F   G
You look like a movie
                 Em  F
You sound like a song
               F       G
My God, this reminds me
                Em   G
Of when we were young

[Chorus]
       C              Em                F              G        
Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time
        C          Em            F              G       
That we might be exactly like we were before we realised
         Am               C/E             F       Fm
We were scared of getting old, it made us restless
                   Dm     F                    Gsus4 G
It was just like a movie,   it was just like a song

[Verse 2]
Am       Em                F    C/E
I was so scared to face my fears
       Dm                    C   CC/B
Nobody told me that you'd be here
Am          Em              F   C/E
And I swear you'd moved overseas
               Dm                   Gsus4 G
That's what you  said when you left me

[Pre-Chorus]
                       F   G
You still look like a movie
                       Em  F
You still sound like a song
               F       G
My God, this reminds me
                Em   G
Of when we were young

[Chorus]
       C              Em                F              G        
Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time
        C          Em            F              G       
That we might be exactly like we were before we realised
         Am               C/E             F       Fm
We were scared of getting old, it made us restless
                   Dm     F                    G   E7/G#
It was just like a movie,   it was just like a song

[Bridge]
     Am           C/G
When we were young
     F            C/E
When we were young
     Dm           
When we were young
     C/G          E7/G#
When we were young
     Am      C/G         F               C/E          
It's hard to admit that, everything just takes me back
        Dm            
To when you were there
        G             E7/G#
To when you were there
      Am               C/G         F               C/E        
And a part of me keeps holding on, just in case it hasn't gone
        Dm          
I guess I still care
   G              
Do you still care?

[Pre-Chorus]
                    F   G
It was just like a movie
                   Em  F
It was just like a song
               F       G
My God, this reminds me
                Em   G
Of when we were young

[Bridge]
     C            Em
When we were young
     F            G
When we were young
     C            Em
When we were young
     F            G
When we were young

[Chorus]
       C              Em                F              G        
Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time
        C          Em            F              G       
That we might be exactly like we were before we realised
        Am                C/E             F       G
We were scared of getting old, it made us restless
           Am              C/E              F       Fm
Oh, I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless
                   Dm     F                    Gsus4 G
It was just like a movie,   it was just like a song
              C   
When we were young
