Intro: C#m E | A E | F#m7 | E

C#m       G#m                  A   E
Everybody loves the things you do,
                 F#m7                E
From the way you talk to the way you move.
C#m       E        A            E
Everybody here is watching you,
                    F#m7
’Cause you feel like home,
                     E              C#m
You’re like a dream come true.

          G#m                 A     E
But if by chance you’re here alone,
             F#m7            E        C#m
Can I have a moment before I go?
                    E           A          E
’Cause I’ve been by myself all night long,
              F#m7              B
Hoping you’re someone I used to know.

 B                 A
   You look like a movie,
 B                  G#m7
   You sound like a song.
 A
   My God, this reminds me
 B                 G#m7
   Of when we were young.

Chorus:
   B7       E              G#m
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        A              B                 E
     In case it is the last time that we might
         G#m            A                 B
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             C#m            G#m
     We were sad of getting old,
                A
     It made us restless.
   Am                   F#m7
     It was just like a movie,
                        B
     It was just like a song.

C#m      G#m              A       E
I was so scared to face my fears,
       F#m7                  E          C#m
Nobody told me that you’d be here.
            E            A      E
And I swear you moved overseas,
            F#m                B
That’s what you said when you left me.

 B                       A
   You still look like a movie,
 B                        G#m7
   You still sound like a song.
 A
   My God, this reminds me
 B                 G#m7
   Of when we were young.

Chorus:
   B7       E              G#m
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        A              B                 E
     In case it is the last time that we might
         G#m            A                 B
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             C#m            G#m
     We were sad of getting old,
                A
     It made us restless.
   Am                   F#m7
     It was just like a movie,
                        B
     It was just like a song.

   G#7     C#m
     When we were young.
   E       A
     When we were young.
   E       F#m7
     When we were young.
           B
     When we were young.

Bridge:
 G#7    C#m     E
   It’s hard to admit
        A               E
   That everything just takes me back
           F#m7
   To when you were there,
           B
   To when you were there.
 G#7     C#m              E
   And a part of me keeps holding on
   A               E
   Just in case it hasn’t gone,
           F#m7
   I guess I still care.
      B
   Do you still care?

 B                    A
   It was just like a movie,
 B                    G#m7
   It was just like a song.
 A
   My God, this reminds me
 B                 G#m7
   Of when we were young,
 B7      E
   When we were young,
 G#m7    A
   When we were young,
 B       E
   When we were young,
 G#m7    A
   When we were young.

Chorus:
   B7       E              G#m
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        A              B                 E
     In case it is the last time that we might
         G#m            A              B
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             C#m            G#m
     We were sad of getting old,
                A
     It made us restless.
   B7           C#m            G#m
     Oh, I’m so mad at getting old,
                 A
     It makes me reckless.
   Am                   F#m7
     It was just like a movie,
                        B
     It was just like a song.
                  E
     When we were young.
