Intro: G#m B | E B | C#m7 | B

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

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

 F#                E
   You look like a movie,
 F#                 Ebm7
   You sound like a song.
 E
   My God, this reminds me
 F#                Ebm7
   Of when we were young.

Chorus:
   F#7      B              Ebm
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        E              F#                B
     In case it is the last time that we might
         Ebm            E                 F#
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             G#m            Ebm
     We were sad of getting old,
                E
     It made us restless.
   Em                   C#m7
     It was just like a movie,
                        F#
     It was just like a song.

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

 F#                      E
   You still look like a movie,
 F#                       Ebm7
   You still sound like a song.
 E
   My God, this reminds me
 F#                Ebm7
   Of when we were young.

Chorus:
   F#7      B              Ebm
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        E              F#                B
     In case it is the last time that we might
         Ebm            E                 F#
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             G#m            Ebm
     We were sad of getting old,
                E
     It made us restless.
   Em                   C#m7
     It was just like a movie,
                        F#
     It was just like a song.

   Eb7     G#m
     When we were young.
   B       E
     When we were young.
   B       C#m7
     When we were young.
           F#
     When we were young.

Bridge:
 Eb7    G#m     B
   It’s hard to admit
        E               B
   That everything just takes me back
           C#m7
   To when you were there,
           F#
   To when you were there.
 Eb7     G#m              B
   And a part of me keeps holding on
   E               B
   Just in case it hasn’t gone,
           C#m7
   I guess I still care.
      F#
   Do you still care?

 F#                   E
   It was just like a movie,
 F#                   Ebm7
   It was just like a song.
 E
   My God, this reminds me
 F#                Ebm7
   Of when we were young,
 F#7     B
   When we were young,
 Ebm7    E
   When we were young,
 F#      B
   When we were young,
 Ebm7    E
   When we were young.

Chorus:
   F#7      B              Ebm
     Let me photograph you in this light,
        E              F#                B
     In case it is the last time that we might
         Ebm            E              F#
     Be exactly like we were before we realised.
             G#m            Ebm
     We were sad of getting old,
                E
     It made us restless.
   F#7          G#m            Ebm
     Oh, I’m so mad at getting old,
                 E
     It makes me reckless.
   Em                   C#m7
     It was just like a movie,
                        F#
     It was just like a song.
                  B
     When we were young.
