How It Went Down

• Em

Capo 1
Em G G A 

Em
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


G                       Em
I am young and you are young
        A
And we grow
              G           Em
Now you are young and it feels like
            A
I've grown old
              G                      Em
So take your time, my feeling 'round you
           A
Can be so cold
           G                       Em
Take your time, I'll see you somewhere 
                A
When seasons unfold
                 G
The setting is ready 
                    Em                 A
I've saved you the best seats in the house
                  G
It's candle-lit, baby 
                Em             A
I'm patiently waiting in the crowd
               G                Em
I would never ask about other nights
        A
Only a fool would spoil it all
               G                 Em
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 
                     G              A
Let's say we step outside for some air
            Em
It's such a hot night
              G               A
Let's say we make away somewhere
         G                       Em
On the street the sound of our shoes 
                   A
Between the buildings
               G                Em
On the subway the fluorescent lights 
                C
Can't change a thing

              G                 Em           A
Because I am young and you are young and we grow
              G           Em                    A
Now you are young and it feels like I've grown old
             G                     Em                   A
So take our time 'cause taking it here means taking me home
          G                    Em                    A
Take our time 'cause taking it here means taking me home
          G                    Em                    A
Take our time 'cause taking it here means taking me home
          G                     Em                   A
Take our time 'cause taking it here means taking me home
