C D
[Verse 1]
Em Bm C G
Everybody loves the things you do
Am7 G G/F#
From the way you talk to the way you move
Em Bm C G
Everybody here is watching you
Am7 G G/F#
Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come true
Em Bm C G
But if by chance you're here alone
Am7 G G/F#
Can I have a moment before I go
Em Bm C G
Cause I've been by myself all night long
Am7 D
Hoping you're someone I used to know
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
You look like a movie
Bm C
You sound like a song
C D
My God this reminds me
Bm D
Of when we were young
[Chorus]
G C C D
Let me photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time
G Bm C D
That we might be exactly like we were before we realized
Em G C Cm
We were sad of getting old, it made us restless
[Próxima Parte]
Am7 Am7 D
It was just like a movie, it was just like a song
[Verse 2]
Em Bm C G
I was so scared to face my fears
Am7 G G/F#
Cause nobody told me that you'd be here
Em Bm C G
And I swear you moved overseas
Am7 D
That's what you said when you left me
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
You still look like a movie
Bm C
You still sound like a song
[Próxima Parte]

It was just like a movie, it was just like a song

When we were young
C G
When we were young
Em G
When we were young
C G
When we were young
Em G C G
It's hard to admit that, everything just takes me back
Am7
To when you were there
D
To when you were there
Em G C G
And a part of me keeps holding on, just in case it hasn't gone
Am7
I guess I still care
D
Do you still care?
[Pre-Chorus]
C D
You look like a movie
Bm C
You sound like a song
[Próxima Parte]
Em G C D
Oh, I'm so mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless
C D
You look like a movie, You sound like a song
C D
It was just like a movie, You sound like a song
G
When we were young
