Anti-Hero

C                             G                          Am
I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser
                        F
Midnights become my afternoons
C                                G
When my depression works the graveyard shift
              Am                                   F
All of the people I've ghosted stand there in the room
   C                              G
I should not be left to my own devices
                            Am
They come with prices and vices
                    F
I end up in crisis (tale as old as time)
 C                           G
I wake up screaming from dreaming
                                Am
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
                              F
'Cause you got tired of my scheming


       C
And I know it's long gone, and
      G
That magic's not here no more
       Am                    G
And I might be okay but I'm not
           F G Am G
Fine at all



      C       G
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
    Am        F
At tea time, everybody agrees
C                          G
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
 Am                         F
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero


( C  G  Am  F )

              C
And you were tossing me the car keys
         G
Fuck the patriarchy
                Am
Keychain on the ground
                        F
We were always skipping town
          C
And I was thinking on the drive down
    G
Any time now
                    Am
He's gonna say it's love
                         F
You never called what it was


C                      G                                Am
Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism
                       F
Like some kind of congressman? (Tale as old as time)
C                         G
I wake up screaming from dreaming
                                Am
One day, I'll watch as you're leaving
                        F
And life will lose all its meaning (For the last time)


     C
And there we are again in the
G
Middle of the night
   Am
We dance around the kitchen
           F
In the refrigerator light
          C
Down the stairs, I was there
     G           Am       F
I remember it all too well


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


G                   C
  And maybe we got lost in translation
         G
Maybe I asked for too much
                Am
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
          F
'Til you tore it all up
         C
Running scared, I was there
      G         Am        F
I remember it all too well


C.           G
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
Am           F
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me


         C
And you call me up again
         G
Just to break me like a promise
     Am                    F
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
        C                         G
I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here
                     Am        F
'Cause I remember it's me, hi
                       C         F
Everybody agrees, everybody agrees



      C       G
It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me
    Am        F
At tea time, everybody agrees
C                          G
I'll stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror
 Am                         F
It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero


( C  G  Am  C )

            C
Wind in my hair, you were there
       G
You remember it all
           Am
Down the stairs, you were there
       F
You remember it all
        C
It was rare, and we'd swear
      G           Am       F
To remember it all too well
