Anti-Hero Chords

[Verse 1]
A     E                 
I have this thing where 
      B             C#m
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             
All of the people I’ve ghosted 
E                   B     C#m
stand there in the room
 
 
[Pre-chorus 1]
  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)
 
 
[Chorus]
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
 
 
[Verse 2]
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         
Too big to hang out, 
         B             C#m
slowly lurching toward your favorite city
A               E                         B    C#m
Pierced through the heart, but never killed
 
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
A         E                 B       
  Did you hear my covert narcissism 
C#m             A
I disguise as altruism
E                    B        
Like some kind of congressman 
             C#m
(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)
 
 
[Chorus]
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
 
 
[Bridge]
A         E       
I have this dream 
            B             C#m
my daughter-in-law kills me for the money
A         E                       B     C#m
She thinks I left them in the will
A        E                    
The family gathers around and 
B                     C#m
reads it and 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…
 
 
[Chorus]
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.
