When it's right, it's like a soundtrack
      Bb
That song that brings you right back
     Dm
Then dim the lights, slow motion, I

Feel the story runnin' through me

Whoo ooh oooohhh
 Bb           Dm
Whoo ooh ooh oooh

These are the chords for Like A Movie by Cam on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Like A Movie by Cam is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 4 chords: F, Bb, Dm and C.

Most of the song cycles through F – Bb – Dm – Bb (I – IV – vi – IV in F major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – lah – fah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
