The Romantic

          F                     
I have romanticized every little 
                   Bbsus2
thing that you've said to me
                          Gm     
I didn't mean it, it just happens 
          Dm          Csus4
when you have an overactive 
imagination

              F                    
I've seen you in my dreams, and 
                  Bbsus2
it's so vivid that I swear it seems 
like it really happened
        Gm                     Dm 
And I'm shocked when you don't 
                         Csus4
sweep me off my feet in the morning


[Chorus]
                Bbsus2             
Oh, I just want someone to hold my 
Csus4
hand
                F              
And tell me I'm pretty and I'm 
Am/E          Dm7
sweet and I'm kind
    F/C       Bbsus2           Csus4
But I don't expect you to understand
         F             Am/E  Dm7
I'm just saying what's on my mind
    F/C       Bbsus2             
And I've been told it's hard for 
Csus4                  F    
people like me to find someone 
          Am/E      Dm7     F/C
who'll love me unconditionally
    Bbsus2                    Csus4
But there must be someone out there


[Verse 2]
       F
I keep asking why
                            Bbsus2
Why'd it have to be me, the romantic

Continues after the ad
I'm sorry I just like you
         Gm               Dm      
And your eyes are telling me it 
        Csus4
goes both ways

        F
I'm not asking much
Though I already know that I am 
Bbsus2
loved
                         Gm
It's hard to believe I'm anything
     Dm              Csus4
When you don't say I am


[Chorus]
                   Bbsus2          
'Cause I just want someone to hold 
   Csus4
my hand
                F              
And tell me I'm pretty and I'm 
Am/E          Dm7
sweet and I'm kind
    F/C       Bbsus2           Csus4
But I don't expect you to understand
         F             Am/E  Dm7
I'm just saying what's on my mind
    F/C       Bbsus2             
And I've been told it's hard for 
Csus4                  F    
people like me to find someone 
          Am/E      Dm7     F/C
who'll love me unconditionally
    Bbsus2                    Csus4
But there must be someone out there

[Bridge]
Gm          Csus4                
   I am too deeply obsessed with 
F          Am/E    Bbsus2
having the perfect love
     Gm                    Csus4
With roses and candles and starlight
 and you
            F    Am/E  Dm7  F/C
But will it ever be enough? No
Gm         Csus4                
  I am too deeply obsessed with 
F          Am/E    Bbsus2
having the perfect love
     Gm                    Csus4
With roses and candles and starlight
 and you
         F      Am/E Dm7 F/C Bbsus2
But it'll never be enough
           Csus4
It's never enough


[Chorus]
            Bbsus2             Csus4
I just want someone to hold my hand
                F              
And tell me I'm pretty and I'm 
Am/E          Dm7
sweet and I'm kind
    F/C       Bbsus2           Csus4
But I don't expect you to understand
         F             Am/E  Dm7
I'm just saying what's on my mind
    F/C       Bbsus2             
And I've been told it's hard for 
Csus4                  F    
people like me to find someone 
          Am/E      Dm7     F/C
who'll love me unconditionally
    Bbsus2                    Csus4
But there must be someone out there
    Bbsus2                     Csus4
Oh, there must be someone out there
