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

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

Pre-Chorus:

         D MajorD   E MajorE
 You look like a movie
          C# minorC#m D MajorD
 You sound like a song

 Of when we were young

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

Verse 2:

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

 We were sad of getting old, it made us restless

 When we were young


Verse 3:

    F# minorF#m  E MajorE      D MajorD        A/C#A/C#
 It's hard to admit that, everything just takes me back
     B minorBm      A augmentedA

 I guess I still care
