[Intro]
Em D C9 D/B Am G
[Verse 1]
Em Dsus2 C9 D/B
Everybody loves the things you do
Am G G/F#
From the way you talk to the way you move
Em Dsus2 C9 D/B
Everybody here is watching you
Am G G/F#
Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come true
Em Dsus2 C9 D/B
But if by chance you're here alone
Am G G/F#
Can I have a moment before I go
Em Dsus2 C9 D/B
Cause I've been by myself all night long
Am Dsus2
Hoping you're someone I used to know
[Pre-Chorus]
C9
You look like a movie
Dsus2 D/B
You sound like a song
C9 Dsus2
My God this reminds me
D/B Dsus2
Of when we were young
[Chorus]
G D/B C9 Dsus2
Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time
G D/B C9 Dsus2
That we might be exactly like we were before we realized
Em D/B C9
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
Am C9 Dsus2
It was just like a movie, it was just like a song
[Verse 2]
Em Dsus2 C9 D/B
I was so scared to face my fears
Am G G/F#
Cause nobody told me that you'd be here
Em Dsus2 C9 D/B
And I swear you moved overseas
Am Dsus2
That's what you said when you left me
[Pre-Chorus]
C9
You still look like a movie
Dsus2 D/B
You still sound like a song
C9 Dsus2
My God this reminds me
D/B Dsus2
Of when we were young
[Chorus]
G D/B C9 Dsus2
Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time
G D/B C9 Dsus2
That we might be exactly like we were before we realized
Em D/B C9
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
Am C9 Dsus2
It was just like a movie, it was just like a song
[Bridge]
Em Dsus2
When we were young
C9
When we were young
Em Dsus2
When we were young
C9 Dsuu2
When we were young
Em Dsus2 C9 D/B
It's hard to admit that, everything just takes me back
Am
To when you were there
Dsus2
To when you were there
Em Dsus2 C9 D/B
And a part of me keeps holding on, just in case it hasn't gone
Am
I guess I still care
Dsus2
Do you still care?
[Pre-Chorus]
C9
You look like a movie
Dsus2 D/B
You sound like a song
C9 Dsus2
My God this reminds me
D/B Dsus2
Of when we were young
[Chorus]
G D/B C9 Dsus2
Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time
G D/B C9 Dsus2
That we might be exactly like we were before we realized
Em Dsus2 C9
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
Em Dsus2 C9 Dsus2
Oh, I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless
C9 Dsus2
You look like a movie, You sound like a song
Am C9 Dsus2
It was just like a movie, You sound like a song
