[Intro] F [Verse 1]
  F                Bb
I know that you like me

           Dm
It's kinda frightening

              C
Standing here waiting, waiting

       F        Bb
'Cause I became hipnotized

                Dm
By freckles and bright eyes

C
Tongue-tied
[Pre-Chorus 1]
    F
But now,

Bb                         Dm
You're so far away and I'm down

C                          F    Bb
Feeling like a face in the crowd

                 Dm        C
I'm reaching for you, terrified
[Chorus 1]
       F                           Bb
'Cause you could be the one that I love

        Dm                     C
I could be the one that you dream of

  F                         Bb
A message in a bottle is all I can do

Dm                       C
Standing here, hoping it gets to you

F                           Bb
You could be the one that I keep, and I, I, I,

Dm                            C
Could be the reason you can't sleep at ni-i-ight

  F                         Bb
A message in a bottle is all I can do

Dm                      C
Standing here hoping it gets to you
F Bb Dm C [Interlude]
F*     C*     Bb*  Bb*
 I-I-I, I-I-I, I-I, I-I
[Verse 2]
F                   C
 Stand there like a ghost

                 Bb         Bb
Shaking from the rain, rain

F                   C
 She'll open up the door

               Bb        Bb
Say "Are you insane-ane?"

F                 C        Bb     Bb
 Say "It's been a long six months"

F                  C
 And you were too afraid

                     Bb
To tell her what you want, want
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bb*                F*
 And that's how it works

C*                      Bb*
 That's how you get the girl

    Bb
And then you say:
[Chorus 2]
F              C
I want you for worse or for better

Bb           Bb
I would wait forever and ever

F                      C
Broke your heart, I'll put it back together

Bb              Bb
I would wait forever and ever
[Post-Chorus 2]
F                  C
 And that's how it works,

                       Bb
That's how you get the girl, girl

Bb
 Oh-oh-oh-oh

F                  C
 And that's how it works,

                       Bb        Bb
That's how you get the girl, girl

[Interlude 2]
Bb*       Dm*
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

C*        Gm*
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

Bb*       Dm*  C
Ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
[Verse 3]
      Bb
We're all bored

      Dm
We're all so tired of everything

   C
We wait for

Gm
Trains that just aren't coming

   Bb
We show off

    Dm
Our different scarlet letters

  C
Trust me, mine is better
[Verse 4]
      Bb
We're so young

      Dm
We're on the road to ruin

   C
We play dumb

            Gm
But we know exactly what we're doing

   Bb
We cry tears

   Dm
Of mascara in the bathroom

       C
Honey, life is just a classroom
[Chorus 3]
Gm            Bb
  'Cause baby, I could build a castle

F       C
 Out of all the bricks they threw at me

Gm         Bb
 And every day is like a battle

F          C
 But every night with us is like a dream

Gm
 Baby, we're the new romantics

Bb
 Come, a-come along with me

F
 Heartbreak is the national anthem

C
 We sing it proudly

Gm
 We are too busy dancing

Bb
 To get knocked off our feet

F
 Baby, we're the new romantics

C                   Gm
 The best people in life are free
Bb Dm
C                 Gm
So come on, come along with me
Bb Dm C [Bridge]
Bb                 Dm
 Please take my hand and

C               Gm
 Please take me dancing and

Bb                  Dm
 Please leave me stranded

           C
It's so romantic

C            Gm
 Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
[Chorus 4]
            Bb
'Cause baby, I could build a castle

F       C                            Gm
 Out of all the bricks they threw at me

          Bb
And every day is like a battle

F          C                         Gm
 But every night with us is like a dream

     Bb
Baby, I could build a castle

F       C                            Gm
 Out of all the bricks they threw at me

          Bb
And every day is like a battle

F          C                       Gm
 But every night with us is like a dream

Bb
 Come, a-come along with me

F
 Heartbreak is the national anthem

C
 We sing it proudly

Gm
 We are too busy dancing

Bb
 To get knocked off our feet

F
 Baby, we're the new romantics

C                   Gm
 The best people in life are free
Bb Dm C Gm [Outro]
                  Bb
And that's how it works

                       Dm
That's how you get the girl, girl

C              Gm        Bb
 That's how it works, ah-ah!

                       Dm
That's how you get the girl

C   Gm                          Bb
Oh, you could be the one that I love, love

                            F
You could be the one that I love, my love

            Dm
And now I'm standing here,

          C
Hoping it gets to you
