Capo 1
Em G G A
I was acting rich like 
Everyone else dAid
EmI was acting well to do
If well to do means being good to yAou
EmI was acting in my element 
And you in yours tAoo
EmI was acting like 
Every single night was like tAhis
EmI am young and you are yoBmung
And we gArow
Now you are yoEmung and it feBmels like
I've grown oAld
So take your tGime, my feeling 'round Bmyou
Can be so cAold
Take your tGime, I'll see you somewhBmere 
When seasons unfAold
The setting is reEmady 
I've saved you the bBmest seats in the hoAuse
It's candle-lit, bEmaby 
I'm patiently waBmiting in the crAowd
I would never aGsk about other niBmghts
Only a fAool would spoil it all
I would never aGsk about other nigBmhts
When I'm with yAou the memory is gone
And it's such a Emhot night 
Let's say we step outBmside for some aAir
It's such a Emhot night
Let's say we mBmake away somewhAere
On the stGreet the sound of our shBmoes 
Between the buildinAgs
On the subway tGhe fluorescent liBmghts 
Can't change a tAhing
Because I am yEmoung and you are yoBmung and we grAow
Now you are yoEmung and it feBmels like I've grown olAd
So take our tGime 'cause taking it hBmere means taking me hAome
Take our tGime 'cause taking it Bmhere means taking me hAome
Take our tGime 'cause taking it Bmhere means taking me hAome
Take our tGime 'cause taking it hBmere means taking me hAome

Capo 1

Em G G A

I was acting rich like

Everyone else did

I was acting well to do

If well to do means being good to you

I was acting in my element

And you in yours too

I was acting like

Every single night was like this

Em Bm

I am young and you are young

And we grow

Em Bm

Now you are young and it feels like

I've grown old

G Bm

So take your time, my feeling 'round you

Can be so cold

G Bm

Take your time, I'll see you somewhere

When seasons unfold

The setting is ready

Bm A

I've saved you the best seats in the house

It's candle-lit, baby

Bm A

I'm patiently waiting in the crowd

G Bm

I would never ask about other nights

Only a fool would spoil it all

G Bm

I would never ask about other nights

When I'm with you the memory is gone

And it's such a hot night

Bm A

Let's say we step outside for some air

It's such a hot night

Bm A

Let's say we make away somewhere

G Bm

On the street the sound of our shoes

Between the buildings

G Bm

On the subway the fluorescent lights

Can't change a thing

Em Bm A

Because I am young and you are young and we grow

Em Bm A

Now you are young and it feels like I've grown old

G Bm A

So take our time 'cause taking it here means taking me home

G Bm A

Take our time 'cause taking it here means taking me home

G Bm A

Take our time 'cause taking it here means taking me home

G Bm A

Take our time 'cause taking it here means taking me home
