Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: Am I try to be good to others, E7 Am Treat my fellow men like brothers and sisters. E F That’s the story I’m the hero in, E F So how come I can’t zero in E On why this song sounds so sinister? (Oh my God…)
Chorus: Am I’m the villain in my own story, E7 I’m the witch in my own tale. Dm Am Though I insist I’m the protagonist, B7 E It’s clear that my soul is up for sale. Am I’m the villain in my own story, E The bad guy in my TV show. Dm I’m the “who” in the “whodunit,” Am When I go to hell I’ll run it, E Am As Satan’s CFO! (He needs someone to do the books. Actually, I shouldn’t do that, I’m terrible with money.) Verse 2: Bbm But wait, how am I a villain? F7 I give annually to UNICEF, Gb F And just last week Gb F I helped a lady cross the street, F7 Bbm Who was super old and deaf. (Wait, where am I? Ah, a bird!) Chorus: Bbm I'm the villain in my own story, F I’m the bitch in the corner of the poster, Ebm I’m the figure in the doorway Bbm or the Kraken up in Norway, F Bbm God who is this song’s composer? (It’s like ridiculously sinister—like redunkuously sinister) Outro: Bm I’m the villain in my own story, F# My actions have gone way too far. Em Bm I told myself that I was Jasmine, C#7 F# But I realize now I’m Jafar. Bm We’re told love conquers all, F# But that only applies to the hero. Em Bm Is the enemy what I’m meant to be? N.C. F# Bm Is being the villain my destiny?
