[Intro]
Am  G  D/F#

[Verse 1]
           Am     G
I do it to myself
             D/F#
Fabricate a dream,
reaching for what I see
             Am    G
In everybody else
                     D/F#
It's never what it seems...
It seems like they're
             Am  G
happier than me...
Seems like they're where
        D/F#
I wanna be..

[Chorus]
I've got the heart of
               Am
a hopeless romantic
            G
Can you imagine
              D/F#
Looking for love in
somewhere it's not?
                 Am
I'm broken and manic
          G
Can you imagine
             D/F#
Looking for love in
somewhere it's not?

[Post-Chorus]
                           Am
It's enough to drive you crazy,
     G
crazy (Mm-hmm, mm)
D/F#
....When I think about it
                           Am
It's enough to drive you crazy,
     G
crazy (Mm-hmm, mm)
D/F#
....Mm hmm, mm

[Verse 2]
                         Am
It's like I'm lying to myself
(Myself, myself, myself)
     G
And hopelessly romanticizing,
                      D/F#
I'm willing to compromise..
                      Am
We're staring at the stars
      G
(Stars)
                      D/F#
While standing on the moon,
instead of in this room
                          Am  G
Nothing's ever enough for me...
                      D/F#
I keep it buried underneath
(Oh, oh-oh, oh)

[Chorus]
I've got the heart of
               Am
a hopeless romantic
            G
Can you imagine
              D/F#
Looking for love in
somewhere it's not?
                 Am
I'm broken and manic
          G
Can you imagine
             D/F#
Looking for love in
somewhere it's not?
