[Strophe]
      G 
We're all bored 
      Bm 
We're all so tired of everything 
   A        Em 
We wait for trains that just aren't coming 
   G            Bm 
We show off our different scarlet letters 
A 
Trust me mine is better
[Strophe]
      G                  Bm 
We're so young but we're on the road to ruin 
   A                       Em 
We play dumb, but we know exactly what we're doing 
   G                Bm 
We cry tears, of mascara in the bathroom 
      A                      -stop 
Honey life is just a classroom
[Refrain]
       Em 
Aahaahaah! 
           G                    D 
Cause baby I could build a castle 
        A                                Em 
Out of all the bricks they threw at me-e-e 
          G                  D 
And every day is like a battle 
          A                          Em 
But every night with us like a dre-e-am 
                            G 
Baby we're the new romantics 
                              D 
Come on, come on along with me 
                                  A 
Heart break is the national anthem 
                  Em 
We sing it proudly 
                       G 
We are too busy dancing 
                           D 
To get knocked off our feet 
                            A 
Baby we're the new romantics 
                   Em* 
The best people in life are free
[Strophe]
      G             Bm 
We're all here, the lights and boys are blinding 
   A          Em 
We hang back, it's all in the timing 
     G               Bm 
It's poker, he can't see it in my face 
        A 
But I'm about to play my ace
[Strophe]
   G              Bm 
We need love, but all we want is danger 
   A                          Em 
We team up, then switch sides like a record changer 
    G          Bm 
The rumors are terrible and cruel 
          A                   -stop 
Buy honey most of them are true  
[Refrain]
       Em 
Aahaahaah!  
           G                    D 
Cause baby I could build a castle 
        A                                Em 
Out of all the bricks they threw at me-e-e 
          G                  D 
And every day is like a battle 
          A                          Em 
But every night with us like a dre-e-am 
                            G 
Baby we're the new romantics 
                              D 
Come on, come on along with me 
                                  A 
Heart break is the national anthem 
                  Em 
We sing it proudly 
                       G 
We are too busy dancing 
                           D

                            A 
Baby we're the new romantics 
                   Em           G D A 
The best people in life are free 
                     Em           G 
So come on, come on along with me 
                   D             A 
The best people in life are free
[Interlude]
G*              Bm* 
 Please take my hand and 
A*              Em* 
 Please take me dancing, and 
G*               Bm* 
 Please leave me stranded  
          A* 
It's so romantic (It's so romantic)
