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]

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]
