Am          Em                  F     C/E
  But if by chance you're here alone
             Dm              C    C C/B
Can I have a moment before I go
Am                   Em               F     C/E
  Cause I've been by myself all night long
              Dm                Gsus4  G
Hoping you're someone  I used to know

                 F      G
You look like a movie
                 Em     F
You sound like a song

My God this reminds me
                Em     G
Of when we were young

Chorus:
       C              Em                F              G
Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time

That we might be exactly like we were before we realized
         Am            C/E             F         Fm
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
                   Dm     F                    Gsus4  G
It was just like a movie,   it was just like a song

Verse 2:
Am          Em                F      C/E
   I was so scared to face my fears
           Dm                    C      C C/B
And nobody told me that you'd be here
Am            Em              F     C/E
  And I swear you'd moved overseas
               Dm                   Gsus4 G
That's what you  said when you left me

Pre-chorus:
                       F     G
You still look like a movie
                       Em    F
You still sound like a song

My God this reminds me

When we were young
     C/G           E7/G#
When we were young

     Am      C/G         F               C/E
It's hard to admit that, everything just takes me back
        Dm
To when you were there
        G              E7/G#
To when you were there
      Am               C/G         F               C/E
And a part of me keeps holding on, just in case it hasn't gone

I guess I still care
   G
Do you still care?

It was just like a song
