Ev ’ry bod y (G)loves the things you (C)do,
from the way you (Am7)talk
to the way you move.
Ev ’ry bod y (G)here is watch ing (C)you,
’cause you feel like (Am7)home,
you’re like a dream come (G)true.
But if by (G)chance you’re here a (C)lone,
can I have a (Am7)mo ment
be fore I go?
’Cause I’ve been by (G)my self all night (C)long,
hop ing you’re (Am7)some one
I used to (D)know.
You still look like a (D)mov ie,
you still sound like a (Gmaj9)song;
my God, this re minds me
of when we were (Gmaj9)young.
Let me (G)pho to graph you (G)in this light, in (C)case it is the (D)last time that we (G)might be ex (G)act ly like we (C)were be fore we (D)re al ized we were (Em)sad of get ting old, it made us (C)rest less.
It was just like a (Am)mov ie,
it was just like a (Dsus)song.
I was so (G)scared to face my (C)fears,
’cause no bod y (Am7)told me
that you’d be here.
’Cause And I swear (G)you’d moved o ver (C)seas:
that’s what you (Am7)said one
when you left (D)me.
You still look like a (D)mov ie,
you still sound like a (Gmaj9)song;
my God, this re minds me
of when we were (Gmaj9)young.
Let me (G)pho to graph you (G)in this light, in (C)case it is the (D)last time that we (G)might be ex (G)act ly like we (C)were be fore we (D)re al ized we were (Em)sad of get ting old, it made us (C)rest less.
It was just like a (Am)mov ie,
it was just like a (Dsus)song.
(Dsus)song.
(When we were young,
when we were young,
when we were young,
when we were young.)
It’s (Em)hard
to (G)win me there.
(C)Ev ’ry thing just (G)takes me back to when (Am7)you were there,
to when (Dsus)you were there.
And a (Em)part of me keeps (G)hold ing on (C)just in case it (G)has n’t gone.
I guess (Am7)I still care.
Do (Dsus)you still care?
It was just like a (C)mov ie,
it was just like a (Bm)song.
My God, this re minds me
of when we were (Bm)young.
(When (G)we were young,
when we were young,
when we were young,
when we were young.)
Let me (G)pho to graph you (G)in this light, in (C)case it is the (D)last time that we (G)might be ex (G)act ly like we (C)were be fore we (D)re al ized we were (Em)sad of get ting old, it made us (C)rest less.
Oh, I’m so (Em)mad at get ting old, it makes me (C)reck less.
It was just like a (Am)mov ie,
it was just like a (Dsus)song
when we were (G)young.
