Anti-Hero

	 
[Intro]
N.C.
(Drums)
[Strophe]
A     E                       B             C#m 
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser 
A        E                    B     C#m 
Midnights become my afternoons 
A         E                  B 
When my depression works the graveyard shift 
   C#m           A             E                   B     C#m 
All of the people I’ve ghosted stand there in the room
[Pre-Refrain]
  A             E                B 
I should not be left to my own devices 
     C#m                  A 
They come with prices and vices 
  E                 B           C#m 
I end up in crisis (Tale as old as time) 
A        E                     B 
  I wake up screaming from dreaming 
        C#m                     A 
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving 
          E                   B 
Cause you got tired of my scheming 
         C#m 
(For the last time)
[Refrain]
A       E 
It’s me, hi 
B              C#m 
I’m the problem, it’s me 
  A   E      B       C#m 
At tea time, everybody agrees 
A           E                 B 
I’ll stare directly at the sun 
         C#m 
But never in the mirror 
A             E 
It must be exhausting 
        B         C#m 
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumentale]
A   E   B   C#m
[Strophe]
A            E              B     C#m 
Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby 
A          E               B     C#m 
And I’m a monster on the hill 
A          E                  B             C#m 
Too big to hang out, slowly lurching toward your favorite city 
A               E                         B    C#m 
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
[Pre-Refrain]
A         E                 B       C#m             A 
  Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism 
E                    B                     C#m 
Like some kind of congressman (Tale as old as time) 
A        E                     B 
  I wake up screaming from dreaming 
        C#m                     A 
One day I’ll watch as you’re leaving 
         E                    B 
And life will lose all its meaning 
         C#m 
(For the last time)
[Refrain]
A       E 
It’s me, hi 
B              C#m 
I’m the problem, it’s me 
  A   E      B       C#m 
At tea time, everybody agrees 
A           E                 B 
I’ll stare directly at the sun 
         C#m 
But never in the mirror 
A             E 
It must be exhausting 
        B         C#m 
Always rooting for the anti-hero
[Instrumentale]
A   E   B   C#m
[Pont]
A          E                   B             C#m 
 I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills me for the money 
A          E                      B    C#m 
She thinks I left them in the will 
A           E                   B                C#m 
 The family gathers around and reads it and then someone screams out 
A            E                  B      C#m 
 “She’s laughing up at us from hell!” 
A       E 
It’s me, hi, 
B              C#m 
I’m the problem, it’s me 
A       E 
It’s me, hi 
B   C#m 
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…
[Refrain]
A       E 
It’s me, hi 
B              C#m 
I’m the problem, it’s me 
  A   E      B       C#m 
At tea time, everybody agrees 
A           E                 B 
I’ll stare directly at the sun 
         C#m 
But never in the mirror 
A             E 
It must be exhausting 
        B         C#m 
Always rooting for the anti-hero.
