Bm
I feel the sunrise on your face
A
As you're standing by the window
Feel my hand wrapped 'round your waist
As you light your cigarette

And it looks just like a scene
From an old Italian movie
And it feels like we're unique
But you know it's playing

Chorus:
Bm
All around the world
      A
All around the world
Bm                      A
People like you and me falling in love

All around the world
All around the world
People like you and me can't get enough

And then you're writing out our names
In lipstick on the mirror
And you dance towards the bed
With a little pirouette

We can cancel all our plans
We can stay up for the weekend
'Cause you're the best I've ever had
But you know they say that

Chorus

Bm                            A
When you want something that bad
                           Bm
Would you beg and steal a bottle?
                              A
'Cause we want what we never had
             Bm A
People like us
           Bm A
People in love
            Bm A
People like us
           Bm A
People in love

And you know they sayin'

Chorus

People like us
People in love
People like us (people like us, people like us)
People in love (people in love, people in love)
People like us (people like us,
people like us, people like us)
People like us
