Lyrics
Ev ’ry bod y (F#m)loves the things you (G)do,
from the way you (Em)talk
to the way you (D)move.
Ev ’ry bod y here is watch ing (G)you
’cause you feel like (Em)home,
you’re like a dream come (D)true.
But if by (D)chance you’re here a (G)lone,
can I have a (Em)mo ment
be fore I (D)go?
’Cause I’ve been by my self all night (G)long,
hop ing you’re (Em)some one
I used to (A)know.
You look like a (G)mo vie,
you sound like a (F#m)song,
my god, this re (G)minds me
of when we were (F#m)young.
Let me (D)pho to graph you (F#m)in this light, in (G)case it is the (A)last time that we (D)might be ex (F#m)act ly like we (G)were, be fore we (A)re al ized we were (Bm)sad of get ting (F#m)old, it made us (Gm)rest less.
It was just like a (Em)mo vie,
it was just like a (A)song,
when we were (D)young.
