INTRO:
G D/F# C G Am Am G D/F#


VERSE 1:
G           D/F#            C9   G
Everybody loves the things you do
                  Am
From the way you talk
            G     D/F#
To the way you move
Em7        D/F#            C9   G
Everybody here is watching you
                   Am
'Cause you feel like home
                 G         D/F#
You're like a dream come true
G            D/F#           C9   G
But if by chance you're here alone
              Am
Can I have a moment
     G      D/F#
Before I go?
Em7          D/F#                 C9      G
'Cause I've been by myself all night long
              Am                  D
Hoping you're someone I used to know

PRE-CHORUS:
                 C9
You look like a movie
                 D
You sound like a song
                   C9
My God, this reminds me
                   D
Of when we were young


CHORUS:
          G              D/F#
Let me photograph you in this light
     C9            D/F#
In case it is the last time
         G          D/F#         C9
That we might be exactly like we were
             D/F#
Before we realized
       Em7            Bm
We were sad of getting old
               C9     G
It made us restless
                    Am
It was just like a movie
                     D
It was just like a song


VERSE 2:
 
G             D/F#            C9 G
I was so scared to face my fears
        Am                     G D/F# 
Nobody told me that you'd be here
G             D/F#            C9 G
And I swore you moved overseas
       Am                 D
That's what you said, when you left me


PRE-CHORUS:
                        C9
You still look like a movie
                        D
You still sound like a song
                   C9
My God, this reminds me
                    D
Of when we were young


CHORUS:

          G              D/F#
Let me photograph you in this light
     C9            D/F#
In case it is the last time
         G          D/F#         C9
That we might be exactly like we were
             D/F#
Before we realized
       Em7            Bm
We were sad of getting old
               C9     G
It made us restless
                    Am
It was just like a movie
                     D
It was just like a song
      G       D/F#
When we were young
      C9        G
When we were young
      Am
When we were young
      G         D/F#
When we were young


BRIDGE:

Em           D/F#
It's hard to win me back
   C9              G
Everything just takes me back
  Am
To when you were there
     G          D
To when you were there
  Em            D/F#
And a part of me keeps holding on
   C9               G
Just in case it hasn't gone
  Am
I guess I still care
  D
Do you still care?


PRE-CHORUS:
                     C9
It was just like a movie
                     D
It was just like a song
                    C9
My God, this reminds me
                     D
Of when we were young


CHORUS:

          G              D/F#
let me photograph you in this light
     C9            D/F#
In case it is the last time
         G          D/F#         C9
That we might be exactly like we were
             D/F#
Before we realized
       Em7            Bm
We were sad of getting old
               C9     G
It made us restless
                    Am
It was just like a movie
                     D
It was just like a song
                G
