Intro: F#m A | D A | Bm7 | A

F#m       C#m                  D   A
Everybody loves the things you do,
                 Bm7                 A
From the way you talk to the way you move.
F#m       A        D            A
Everybody here is watching you,
                    Bm7
’Cause you feel like home,
                     A              F#m
You’re like a dream come true.

          C#m                 D     A
But if by chance you’re here alone,
             Bm7             A        F#m
Can I have a moment before I go?
                    A           D          A
’Cause I’ve been by myself all night long,
              Bm7               E
Hoping you’re someone I used to know.

 E                 D
   You look like a movie,
 E                  C#m7
   You sound like a song.
 D
   My God, this reminds me
 E                 C#m7
   Of when we were young.

Chorus:
   E7       A              C#m
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        D              E                 A
     In case it is the last time that we might
         C#m            D                 E
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             F#m            C#m
     We were sad of getting old,
                D
     It made us restless.
   Dm                   Bm7
     It was just like a movie,
                        E
     It was just like a song.

F#m      C#m              D       A
I was so scared to face my fears,
       Bm7                   A          F#m
Nobody told me that you’d be here.
            A            D      A
And I swear you moved overseas,
            Bm                 E
That’s what you said when you left me.

 E                       D
   You still look like a movie,
 E                        C#m7
   You still sound like a song.
 D
   My God, this reminds me
 E                 C#m7
   Of when we were young.

Chorus:
   E7       A              C#m
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        D              E                 A
     In case it is the last time that we might
         C#m            D                 E
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             F#m            C#m
     We were sad of getting old,
                D
     It made us restless.
   Dm                   Bm7
     It was just like a movie,
                        E
     It was just like a song.

   C#7     F#m
     When we were young.
   A       D
     When we were young.
   A       Bm7
     When we were young.
           E
     When we were young.

Bridge:
 C#7    F#m     A
   It’s hard to admit
        D               A
   That everything just takes me back
           Bm7
   To when you were there,
           E
   To when you were there.
 C#7     F#m              A
   And a part of me keeps holding on
   D               A
   Just in case it hasn’t gone,
           Bm7
   I guess I still care.
      E
   Do you still care?

 E                    D
   It was just like a movie,
 E                    C#m7
   It was just like a song.
 D
   My God, this reminds me
 E                 C#m7
   Of when we were young,
 E7      A
   When we were young,
 C#m7    D
   When we were young,
 E       A
   When we were young,
 C#m7    D
   When we were young.

Chorus:
   E7       A              C#m
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        D              E                 A
     In case it is the last time that we might
         C#m            D              E
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             F#m            C#m
     We were sad of getting old,
                D
     It made us restless.
   E7           F#m            C#m
     Oh, I’m so mad at getting old,
                 D
     It makes me reckless.
   Dm                   Bm7
     It was just like a movie,
                        E
     It was just like a song.
                  A
     When we were young.
