[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
 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

 [Chorus: Chris Martin]
 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

 [Chorus: Chris Martin]
 I want something just like this
 I want something just like this

 [Bridge: Chris Martin]
 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
 Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
 Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
 Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

 [Pre-Chorus: Chris Martin]
 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
 I want something just like this

 [Chorus: Chris Martin]
 Oh, I want something just like this
 Oh, I want something just like this
 Oh, I want something just like this
 Oh, I want something just like this
