Verse 1:
Dmaj7               Bm7
When I was young, I told myself when
E7                    Em7          A7
I grow up, I won't be jaded like them
Dmaj7                        B7
I'd travel the world, do whatever I can
E7                         Em7       A
To live out my days beyond paper and pen

Am7               D7
But even the most naive would agree
Gmaj7                      Gm7       C7
That nothing is just as it seemed to be
Am7                         D7
And maybe a dream's nothing more than a dream
Gmaj7               Gm7      C7
If it can't get you what you need


Chorus 1:
Gmaj7          F#maj7 Bm7    A        E7
I wish I could be a hopeless romantic again
Gmaj7          F#maj7      Bm7        A       E7
I wish I could live like I don't even have to pretend
Gmaj7                 A7                   Bm7       A7   E7
That I didn't already picture the end even before it ever began
Gmaj7                    A7                    Bm7      A7       E7
Sometimes, I find myself trying to feel like a hopeless romantic again
Gmaj7 A7     Dmaj7 B7   E7  A
So I'll play pretend


Verse 2:
Dmaj7               Bm7
When I was young, I told myself when
E7                      Em        A
I grow up, I'll fall in love with a man
Dmaj7                          B7
Who knew I would have my heart broken instead
E7                           A         A7
When he said he thinks we're better as friends

Am7                      D7
But even the greatest of cynics would admit
Gmaj7                      Gm7  C7
They hold onto hope just a tiny bit
Am7                            D7
And since I met you, I've been in disbelief
Gmaj7                            Gm7          C7
That someone like you could love someone like me


Chorus 2:
Gmaj7          F#maj7 Bm7    A        E7
I wish I could be a hopeless romantic again
Gmaj7          F#maj7      Bm7        A       E7
I wish I could love like I don't even have to pretend
Gmaj7                 A7                   Bm7       A7   E7
That I didn't already picture the end even before we ever began
Gmaj7                      A7                  Bm7      A       E
But when I’m with you, you make me feel like a hopeless romantic again
Gmaj7   A7        Dmaj7
So I'll take your hand


Bridge:
Bm7   A    E   G    A   F#m7   B7   E7   A7    A


Outro:
Gmaj7          F#7  Bm7      A7       E7
I wish I could be a hopeless romantic again
Gmaj7          F#m7        Bm         A7      E
I wish I could love like I don't even have to pretend
Gmaj7                         A7                       Bm7               E7
That I don't even like you as much as I said, so it'll hurt less when it ends
Gmaj7                      A                   Bm7      A        E7
But when I'm with you, you make me feel like a hopeless romantic again
E G  Gm   A7        Dmaj7  B7   E7  A7
  So I'll take your hand, hmm-mm
