How It Went Down

Em G G A

I was acting rich like
               A
Everyone else did
Em
I was acting well to do
                                   A
If well to do means being good to you
Em
I was acting in my element
                  A
And you in yours too
Em
I was acting like
                             A
Every single night was like this


Em                       Bm
I am young and you are young
        A
And we grow
              Em           Bm
Now you are young and it feels like
            A
I've grown old
              G                      Bm
So take your time, my feeling 'round you
           A
Can be so cold
           G                       Bm
Take your time, I'll see you somewhere
                A
When seasons unfold
                 Em
The setting is ready
                    Bm                 A
I've saved you the best seats in the house
                  Em
It's candle-lit, baby
                Bm             A
I'm patiently waiting in the crowd
               G                Bm
I would never ask about other nights
        A
Only a fool would spoil it all
               G                 Bm
I would never ask about other nights
               A
When I'm with you the memory is gone

                Em
And it's such a hot night
                     Bm             A
Let's say we step outside for some air
            Em
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
                   A
Between the buildings
               G                Bm
On the subway the fluorescent lights
                A
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
