 Intro:      F    Am    G    Dm    F    Am    G  

       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
 Buy 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

 Heartbreak is the national anthem
                    Dm
 We sing it proudly
                         F
