Anti-hero
F C G Am
1. I have this thing where I get older but just
never wiser,
F C G
- Am
midnights
become my afternoons.
F C G Am
When my depression works the
graveyard shift all of the people
F C G
- Am
I’ve ghosted, stand there in
the room.
F
C G
I should not be left to my own
devices,
Am F
they
come with prices and vices,
C G
Am
I end up in crisis (tale as
old as time).
F C G
I wake up screaming from dreaming,
Am F
one
day I’ll watch as you’re leaving,
C G Am
’cause you
got tired of my scheming (for the last time).
F C G Am
It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me,
F
C G Am
at tea time, everybody agrees.
F C G Am
I’ll stare directly at the sun
but never in the mirror,
F C
G Am
it must be exhausting always
rooting for the anti-hero.

2. Sometimes I feel like
everybody is a sexy baby,
F C
G
- Am
and
I’m a monster on the hill.
F C G
Am
Too big to hang out, slowly
lurching toward your favorite city,
F C G
- Am
pierced
through the heart, but never killed.
F C
G
Am F
Did you hear my covert narcissism, I disguise
as altruism ?
C G Am
Like some kind of congressman
(tale as old as time).
F C G
I wake up screaming from dreaming,
Am F
one
day I’ll watch as you’re leaving.
C G Am
And life will lose all its
meaning (for the last time).

+ I have this dream my daughter-in-law kills
me for the money
F C
G
- Am
she
thinks I left them in the will.
F C G
The family gathers around and reads it,
Am
and then someone
screams out,
F C G
- Am
“She’s laughing up at us from hell !”
F C G Am
+ It’s me, hi, I’m the problem,
it’s me.
F C - G Am
It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s
me.
F C -
G Am
F - C - G - Am
It’s me, hi, everybody agrees, everybody agrees…
