[Verse 1]
             A             G          A             Bm
I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
     A           G          A           Bm
Achilles and his gold, Hercules and his gifts
   A           G           A            Bm
Spiderman's control and Batman with his fists
A           G                  A         Bm
And clearly I don't see myself upon that list
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
                    A           G            A         Bm
But she said, where'd you wanna go, how much you wanna risk?
           A            G                A        Bm
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
       A      G         A      Bm
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
         A           G              A        Bm
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
 
 
[Chorus 1]
           A              G                   A           Bm
I want something just like this, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
             A       G             A           Bm
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
              A              G                   A           Bm
Oh I want something just like this, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo       
             A       G             A           Bm
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
              A              G     A  Bm   A  G  A  Bm
Oh I want something just like this
           A              G     A  Bm   A  G  A  Bm
I want something just like this
 
 
[Verse 2]
             A             G          A             Bm
I've been reading books of old, the legends and the myths
       A            G              A        Bm
The testaments they told, the moon and its eclipse
      A        G             A         Bm
And Superman unrolls, a suit before he lifts
A         G                  A           Bm
  But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
                A           G            A         Bm
She said, where'd you wanna go, how much you wanna risk?
           A            G                A        Bm
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
       A      G         A      Bm
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
         A           G              A        Bm
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss
 
 
[Chorus 2]
           A              G     A  Bm   A  G  A  Bm
I want something just like this
           A              G     A  Bm   A  G  A  Bm
I want something just like this
              A              G                   A           Bm
Oh I want something just like this, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
             A       G             A              Bm
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-oo
              A              G                   A           Bm
Oh I want something just like this, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo       
             A       G             A              Bm
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-oo
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]

Where'd you wanna go, how much you wanna risk?
           D/F#         G                A        Bm
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
       D/F#   G         A      Bm
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
         D/F#        G              A        Bm
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
           D/F#          (G)
I want something just like this

I hear it a bit differently in the Interlude part: What i've changed: 1. Following the bass line, i've replaced the Bsus4 with a fast switch from A to Bm 2. Changed the D/F# chord to F#m (i feel it pops out the whole harmony there if you go full minor) You have a great version and i don't consider my changes an correction but an alternative. Great job pmalavi!!
