[Verse 1: Chris Martin]

I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths

Achilles and his gold, Hercules and his gifts

Spider-Man's control and Batman with his fists

And clearly, I don't see myself upon that list

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]

But she said, "Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?"

I'm not lookin' for somebody with some superhuman gifts

Some superhero, some fairytale bliss

Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss

I want something just like this

[Chorus: Chris Martin]

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this

[Drop: Chris Martin]

I want something just like this

[Verse 2: Chris Martin]

I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths

The testaments they told, the moon and its eclipse

And Superman unrolls a suit before he lifts

But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]

She said, "Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?"

I'm not lookin' for somebody with some superhuman gifts

Some superhero, some fairytale bliss

Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss

[Chorus: Chris Martin]

I want something just like this

I want something just like this

Oh, I want something just like this

[Bridge: Chris Martin]

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh, I want something just like this

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo, doo

Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Where d'you wanna go? How much you wanna risk?

I'm not lookin' for somebody with some superhuman gifts

Some superhero, some fairytale bliss

Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss

I want something just like this

[Drop: Chris Martin]

Oh, I want something just like this

Oh, I want something just like this

Oh, I want something just like this
