Anti-Hero

Intro: N.C. (drums)

A                                              E                                           B                                           C#m
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser, Midnights become my afternoons
When my depression works the graveyard shift. All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room


A                                                  E      
I should not be left to my own devices. They come with prices and
B                                           C#m
vices.    I end up in crises. (Tale as old as time)

I wake up screaming from dreaming. One day I'll watch as you're
leaving. 'Cause you got tired of my scheming (For the last time)


A                E                                           B              C#m
It's me, hi  I'm the problem, it's me. At tea time, everybody agrees
A                                      E                                               B                                                     C#m
I'll stare directly at the sun    But never in the mirror. It must be exhausting    Always rooting for the anti-hero


A E B C#m 


Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby And I'm a monster on the hill
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city. Pierced through the heart, but never killed


Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as
altruism. Like some kind of congressman (Tale as old as time)

I wake up screaming from dreaming One day I'll watch as you're
leaving  And life will lose all its meaning (For the last time)


A                E                                           B              C#m
It's me, hi  I'm the problem, it's me. At tea time, everybody agrees
A                                      E                                               B                                                     C#m
I'll stare directly at the sun    But never in the mirror. It must be exhausting    Always rooting for the anti-hero


A E B C#m (instrumental)


I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
She thinks I left them in the will
The family gathers around and reads it and then someone screams out
"She's laughing up at us from hell!"

 

A          E    B                           C#m
It's me, hi  I'm the problem, it's me
A          E      B                          C#m
It's me, hi    I'm the problem, it's me
A          E     B               C#m
It's me, hi, everybody agrees
A                  E          B     C#m
Everybody agrees…


A                E                                           B              C#m
It's me, hi  I'm the problem, it's me. At tea time, everybody agrees
A                                      E                                               B                                                     C#m
I'll stare directly at the sun    But never in the mirror. It must be exhausting    Always rooting for the anti-hero
