I've been [A] reading books of [G] old
The [A] legends and the [Bm] myths
The [A] testaments they [G] told
The [A] moon and its e- [Bm] clipse
And [A] Superman un- [G] rolls
A [A] suit before he [Bm] lifts
[A] ...But I'm [G] not the kind of [A] person that it [Bm] fits
Pre-Chorus
She said, [A] where'd you wanna [G] go?
How [A] much you wanna [Bm] risk?
I'm not [A] looking for some- [G] body
With some [A] superhuman [Bm] gifts
Some [A] superhe- [G] ro
Some [A] fairytale [Bm] bliss
Just some- [A] thing I can [G] turn to
Some- [A] body I can [Bm] miss
Chorus
I want something [A] just like
[G] this [A] [Bm] [A]
[G] [A] [Bm] I want something [A] just like
[G] this [A] [Bm] [A]
[G] [A] [Bm] oh I want something [A] just like [G↓] this
Bridge
Doo- doo- doo, doo- doo- doo
Doo- doo- doo, doo- doo- doo
Doo- doo- [A] doo, doo- doo- doo [Bm]
Oh I want [A] something just like [G] this
Doo- doo- [A] doo, doo- doo- doo [Bm]
Doo- doo- [A] doo, doooo [G] doo
Doo- doo- [A] doo, doo- doo- doo [Bm]
Pre-Chorus
[A] Where'd ya wanna [G] go?
How [A] much you wanna [Bm] risk?
I'm not [A] looking for some- [G] body
With some [A] superhuman [Bm] gifts
Some [A] superhe- [G] ro
Some [A] fairytale [Bm] bliss
Just [A] something I can [G] turn to
Some- [A] body I can [Bm] kiss
I want [A] something just like [G] this [A] [Bm]
Chorus
I want something [A] just like
[G] this [A] [Bm] [A]
[G] [A] [Bm] I want something [A] just like
[G] this [A] [Bm] [A]
[G] [A] [Bm] oh I want something [A] just like [G↓] this
