[Verse 1: Chris Martin]
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman'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 looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss

[Bridge: Chris Martin]
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Somebody I can kiss
Somebody I can kiss
Somebody I can kiss
[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
(Hero, hero, hero, hero)
Somebody I
(Hero, hero, hero, hero)

I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something
Oh, I want something just like this
(Superhero)
Oh, I want somethung just like this
(Superhero)
I want something just like this

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
She said, where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss
[Bridge: Chris Martin]
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this

[Chorus: Chris Martin]
Oh, I want something just like this
(Hero, hero, hero, hero)
Somebody I
(Hero, hero, hero, hero)

Oh, I want something just like this
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 looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can miss

[Outro]
I want something just like this
