[Intro]
A F#m
D A
[Verse 1: Harry]
        A
I got a heart 
           F#m
And I got a soul
  D                         A
Believe me, I will use them both
          A
We made a start
        F#m
Be it a false one, I know
      D                          A
Baby, I don’t want to feel alone
[Pre-Chorus: Zayn]
   E               D            E                     D
So kiss me where I lay down, my hands pressed to your cheeks
  E                 D
A long way from the playground
[Chorus: Harry]
A                    D             F#m  E
I have loved you since we were 18
A               D                         F#m       E
Long before we both thought the same thing; to be loved, and to be in love
A             D                    F#m                E
And all I can do is say that these arms were made for holding you, oh
A       D             F#m           E
I wanna love like you made me feel, when we were 18
A x4
[Verse 2: Niall & Liam]
          A
We took a chance
             F#m
God knows we try
    D                        A
Yet all along I knew we'd be fine
             A
So pour me a drink, oh love
                F#m
Let's split the night wide open
             D                                      A
And we'll see everything we can living love in slow motion, motion, motion
[Pre-Chorus: Zayn]
   E               D            E                     D
So kiss me where I lay down, my hands pressed to your cheeks
  E                 D
A long way from the playground
[Chorus: All & Niall]
A                    D             F#m  E
I have loved you since we were 18
A               D                         F#m       E
Long before we both thought the same thing; to be loved, and to be in love
