When We Were Young Lyrics

Piano arr. for guitar
|-----------|-----------|------|------| Note: Chord versions are using Gm instead of Eb/G.
|-4----4----|-4----4----|-4----|-4----| In the video, at 0:47, you can see the pianist's
|-5----3----|-5----3----|-1----|-3----| finger playing the Eb note, the bass sounds a G,
|-5----5----|-6----5----|-3----|-5----| that's why I conclude it's an Eb inversion, not
|-3---------|-----------|------|------| a Gm chord.

From the way you talk, to the way you move
Everybody here is watching you

Hoping you're someone I used to know

I guess I still care
Do you still care-
