  			Intro

verse 1 

F#m        E                    D  C#m 
 Everybody loves the things you do 
                  F#m                  A/C# 
 From the way you talk to the way you move 
F#m        E        D          C#m 
 Everybody here is watching you 
                      Bm                        A/C# 
 Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come true 

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


Pre-Chorus 

                  D     E 
 You look like a movie 
                   C#m  D 
 You sound like a song 
                D        E 
 My god this reminds me 
                   C#m  E 
 Of when we were young 


Chorus 

          A            C#m                D              E 
 Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time 
          A         C#m            D              E 
 That we might be exactly like we were before we realized 
          F#m           A/C#             D        Dm 
 We were sad of getting old, it made us restless 
                     Bm  D                     E 
 It was just like a movie, it was just like a song 


verse 2 

F#m       E                 D    C#m 
 I was so scared to face my fears 
               F#m                    A/C# 
 Cause nobody told me that you'd be here 
F#m          E              D   C#m 
 And I swear you moved overseas 
              Bm                     E 
 That's what you said when you left me 


Pre-Chorus 

                        D     E 
 You still look like a movie 
                         C#m  D 
 You still sound like a song 
                D        E 
 My god this reminds me 
                   C#m  E 
 Of when we were young 


Chorus 

          A            C#m                D              E 
 Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time 
          A         C#m            D              E 
 That we might be exactly like we were before we realized 
          F#m           A/C#             D        Dm 
 We were sad of getting old, it made us restless 
                     Bm  D                     E 
 It was just like a movie, it was just like a song 


Bridge 

       F#m           A/E 
 When we were young 
       D             A/C# 
 When we were young 
       F#m           A 
 When we were young 
       D             E/F 
 When we were young 


verse 3 

       F#m    E           D                A/C# 
 It's hard to admit that, everything just takes me back 
          Bm           A 
 To when you were there 
          E            E/F 
 To when you were there 
        F#m             E          D               A/C# 
 And a part of me keeps holding on just in case it hasn't gone 
         Bm 
 I guess I still care 
     E 
 Do you still care? 


Pre-Chorus 

                     D     E 
 It was just like a movie 
                     C#m  D 
 It was just like a song 
                D        E 
 My god this reminds me 
                   C#m  E 
 Of when we were young 


Bridge 

       A             C#m 
 When we were young 
       D             E 
 When we were young 
       A             C#m 
 When we were young 
       D             E 
 When we were young 


Chorus 

          A            C#m                D              E 
 Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time 
          A         C#m            D              E 
 That we might be exactly like we were before we realized 
          F#m           A/C#             D       E 
 We were sad of getting old, it made us restless 
             F#m            A/C#              D       Dm 
 Oh, I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless 
                     Bm  D                     E 
 It was just like a movie, it was just like a song 
               A 
 When we were young
