F    Am    G    Dm    F    Am    G  


[Verse]

      F
We're all bored
      Am
We're all so tired of everything
    G         Dm
We wait for trains that just aren't coming
     F          Am
We show off our different scarlet letters
  G
Trust me mine is better
       F                  Am
We're so young that we're on the road to ruin
     G
We play dumb
             Dm
But we know exactly what we're doin'
     F
We cry tears
      Am
Of mascara in the bathroom
       G
Honey life is just a classroom


 [Chorus]

Dm         F                    C
Cause baby I could build a castle
       G                            Dm
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
            F                C
And every day it's like battle
           G                        Dm
But every night with us is like a dream
                             F
Baby we're the new romantics
                               C
Come on, come on along with me
                                  G
Heartbreak is the national anthem
                   Dm
We sing it proudly
                        F
We are too busy dancing
                            C
To get knocked off our feet
                              G
Baby we're the new romantics
                      Dm
The best people in life are free


[Verse]

      F
We're all here
     Am
The lights and noise are blinding
    G
We hang back
 Dm
It's all in the timing
      F              Am
It's poker, he can't see it in my face
           G
But I'm about to play my ace
    F             Am
We need love, but all we want is danger
    G                         Dm
We team up then switch sides like a record changer
     F          Am
The rumors are terrible and cruel
           G
But honey most of them are true


[Chorus]

Dm         F                    C
Cause baby I could build a castle
       G                            Dm
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
            F                C
And every day it's like battle
           G                        Dm
But every night with us is like a dream
                             F
Baby we're the new romantics
                               C
Come on, come on along with me
                                  G
Heartbreak is the national anthem
                   Dm
We sing it proudly
                        F
We are too busy dancing
                            C
To get knocked off our feet
                              G
Baby we're the new romantics
                      Dm         G
The best people in life are free


[Bridge]

F               Am
Please take my hand
   G                Dm
And please take me dancing
F                 Am                 G
Please leave me stranded, it's so romantic


[Chorus]

Dm         F                    C
Cause baby I could build a castle
       G                            Dm
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
            F                C
And every day it's like battle
           G                        Dm
But every night with us is like a dream
Dm         F                    C
Cause baby I could build a castle
       G                            Dm
Out of all the bricks they threw at me
            F                C
And every day it's like battle
           G                        Dm
But every night with us is like a dream
                             F
Baby we're the new romantics
                               C
Come on, come on along with me
                                  G
Heartbreak is the national anthem
                   Dm
We sing it proudly
                        F
We are too busy dancing
                            C
To get knocked off our feet
                              G
Baby we're the new romantics
                      Dm
