[Verse 1]
Dmaj7sus2
It's the same old story
Dmaj7sus2               A
And the same look in my eye
A                      G6
Don't pretend you see me
G6                   Dmaj7sus2
It only serves me right
Dmaj7sus2
I won't go slowly
Dmaj7sus2
She said, "Won't you call
              A
me one more time?"
A
If you insist
G6
God forbid that
   Gm6
I romanticise this

[Chorus]
D    Dmaj7/C#    Bm
                God forbid
      G
that I romanticise this
D    Dmaj7/C#    Bm
                God forbid

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7sus2
It's the same old story
Dmaj7sus2          A
When you start to lie
A                      G6
And you push against me
G6              Dmaj7sus2
To delay my decline
Dmaj7sus2
I won't go slowly
Dmaj7sus2
She said, "Won't you
                  A
 hold me one more time?"
A
A bitter kiss
G6              Gm6
God forbid that I
romanticise this

[Chorus]
D    Dmaj7/C#    Bm
                God forbid
      G
that I romanticise this
D    Dmaj7/C#    Bm
                God forbid
     A
that I romanticise this

How to play Romanticise This: key, chords and progression

These are Romanticise This chords by James Marriott on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Romanticise This by James Marriott is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 15 chords in all: Dmaj7sus2, A, G6, Gm6, D, Dmaj7/C#, Bm, G, Gm, D5, A5/E and G5 and 3 more.

The backbone of the song is D – Dmaj7/C# – Bm – G (I – Imaj7 – vi – IV in D major). In solfa, that is doh – doh – lah – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Good to know: on guitar, G6, Gm6, Bm, Gm and Bb5 need a barre or movable shape. Take the change into them slowly at first; piano and ukulele players have it easier.
