Adele – When We Were Young
Key: C Minor BPM: ♩ = 72 Time: 4/4
|Cm    Gm    |Ab   Eb/G    |Fm7     |Eb    |

|Cm          Gm                  |Ab  Eb/G              |Fm7                 |Eb  |
   Everybody loves the things you do,   from the way you talk, to the way you move
|Cm          Gm     |Ab          Eb/G       |Fm7                                |Eb       |
   Everybody here is watching you, cause you feel like home, you’re like a dream come true

|Cm          Gm                 |Ab  Eb/G          |Fm7             |Eb  |
   But if by chance you're here alone, can I have a moment, before I go?
|Cm                   Gm        |Ab        Eb/G           |
   Cause I've been by myself all night long, hoping you’re
|Fm7              |Bb7sus4  Bb7              |
 someone I used to know,      you look like a

|Ab   Bb7               |Gm   Ab              |Ab    Bb7                |Gm   Bb7     |
 movie, you sound like a song,  my God, this reminds me, of when we were young, let me

|Eb             Gm               |Ab             Bb7               |
 photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time, that we
|Eb         Gm           |Ab              Bb7              |
 might be exactly like we were, before we realized, we were
|Cm             Eb/G           |Ab      Abm                 |
 sad of getting old, it made us restless, it was just like a
|Fm7                      |Bb7sus4  Bb7  |
 movie, it was just like a song

|Cm         Gm            |Ab      Eb/G          |Fm7                  |Eb  |
   I was so scared to face my fears, cause nobody told me that you'd be here
|Cm            Gm        |Ab     Eb/G         |
   And I swear you moved overseas, that’s what
|Fm7               |Bb7sus4  Bb7                    |
 you said, when you left me,   you still look like a

|Ab   Bb7               |Gm   Ab              |Ab    Bb7                |Gm   Bb7     |
 movie, you sound like a song,  my God, this reminds me, of when we were young, let me

|Eb             Gm               |Ab             Bb7               |
 photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time, that we
|Eb         Gm           |Ab              Bb7              |
 might be exactly like we were, before we realized, we were
|Cm             Eb/G           |Ab      Abm                 |
 sad of getting old, it made us restless, it was just like a
|Fm7                      |Bb7sus4  Fdim7   |
 movie, it was just like a song

    |Cm           Eb/Bb  |Ab           Eb/G   |Fm7                |Bb7sus4      Bdim7  |
When we were young,  when we were young,  when we were young, when we were young

    |Cm      Eb/Bb      |Ab              Eb/G                  |
It's hard to admit that, everything just takes me back, to when
|Fm7                    |Bb7sus4       Bdim7  |
 you were there, to when you were there
     |Cm               Eb/Bb      |Ab              Eb/G                |
And a part of me keeps holding on, just in case it hasn't gone, I guess
|Fm7             |Bb7sus4       Bb7                 |
 I still care, do you still care? It was just like a

|Ab   Bb7               |Gm   Ab              |Ab    Bb7                |Gm   Bb7     |
 movie, you sound like a song,  my God, this reminds me, of when we were young

    |Eb           Gm    |Ab           Bb7    |Eb           Gm    |Ab           Bb7     |
When we were young, when we were young,  when we were young, when we were young, let me


|Eb             Gm               |Ab             Bb7               |
 photograph you in this light, in case it is the last time, that we
|Eb         Gm           |Ab              Bb7              |
 might be exactly like we were, before we realized, we were
|Cm             Eb/G           |Ab      Bb7         |
 sad of getting old, it made us restless, oh, I'm so
|Cm              Eb/G            |Ab      Abm                 |
 mad I'm getting old, it makes me reckless, it was just like a
|Fm7                      |Bb7sus4  Bb7           |
 movie, it was just like a song,      when we were
