Intro:
[G] [Bm] [A] [Em]
[G] [Bm] [A]
x2
We're [G] all bored
We're [Bm] all so tired of everything
We [A] wait for [Em] trains that just aren't coming
We [G] show off our [Bm] different scarlet letters
[A] Trust me mine is better
We're [G] so young that we're [Bm] on the run to ruin
We [A] play dumb
But we know [Em] exactly what we're doing
We [G] cry tears
Of [Bm] mascara in the bathroom
Honey [A] life is just a classroom
Chorus:
Aahaahaa[Em] h!
'Cause baby [G] I could build a castle[D]
Out of [A] all the bricks, they threw at [Em] me
And every [G] day it's like [D] battle
But every [A] night with us is like an [Em] dream
Baby, we're the new romantics[G]
Come on, come on along with [D] me
Heartbreak is the national anthem[A]
We sing it proudly[Em]
We are too busy dancing[G]
To get knocked off our feet[D]
Baby, we're the new romantics[A]
The best people in [Em] life are free
Verse 2:
We're [G] all here
The [Bm] lights and noise are blinding
We [A] hang back
[Em] It's all in the timing
It's [G] poker, he can't [Bm] see in my face
But I'm [A] about to play my ace
We [G] need love, but [Bm] all we want is danger
We [A] team up and switch sides [Em] like a record changer
The [G] rumors are [Bm] terrible and cruel
But honey [A] most of them are true
Chorus:
Aahaahaa[Em] h!
Cause baby [G] I could build a castle[D]
Out of [A] all the bricks, they threw at [Em] me
And every [G] day it's like [D] battle
But every [A] night with us is like an [Em] dream
Baby, we're the new romantics[G]
Come on, come on along with me[D]
Heartbreak is the national anthem[A]
We sing it proudly[Em]
We are too busy dancing[G]
To get knocked off our feet[D]
Baby, we're the new romantics[A]
The best people in [Em] life are free, oh[G] [D]
[A] So come on, come on [Em] along with me
[G] The best people in [D] life are free [A]
[G] Please take my [Bm] hand
[A] And please take [Em] me dancing
And [G] please leave me [Bm] stranded it's so [A] romantic (It's so romantic)
Chorus:
Aahaahaa[Em] h!
Cause baby [G] I could build a castle[D]
Out of [A] all the bricks, they threw at [Em] me
And every [G] day it's like [D] battle
But every [A] night with us is like an [Em] dream
Baby, we're the new romantics[G]
Come on, come on along with me[D]
Heartbreak is the national anthem[A]
We sing it proudly[Em]
We are too busy dancing[G]
To get knocked off our feet[D]
Baby, we're the new romantics[A]
The best people in [Em] life are free, oh[G] [D]
[A] So come on, come on [Em] along with me
[G] The best people in [D] life are free [A]
