(Verse)
            F#m      E6
Give me some credit
D                   A       E/G#       F#m    E6
 I've been doing my job and you don't get it
D            A      E/G#      F#m   E6
 Nobody does, you've got this habit
D                 A         E/G#   F#m     E6
 Of ruining everything - borderline wicked
       D                              A
'Cause nice just didn't have the same ring
  E/G# F#m     E6
I go unnoticed
           D                        A        E/G#        F#m      E6
As you pretend to be me, but you're not like me, you just look it
        D                       A
And I'm tired of being your opposite

(Bridge)
       E/G#    E                   D
You've got the style, the wit, the eye-patch and goatee
E        A      D
All I've got is me
        E                D      E
And I'm good, but I'm not happy


(Chorus)
               D
I wanna be the evil one
                  A
The twin that has all the fun
               D
I wanna be the evil one
                   A            E
Oh, please let me, just this once
D                                 A         E
All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
D                                  A       E
Maybe if I take your place they'll finally care
#C      D
 Oh, the favorite son
               E
I wanna be the evil one


(Verse)
              F#m      E6
I'm used to rejection
      D                              A
After all the shit you're putting me through
  E/G#   F#m            E6               D                 A
Every direction, seeing fingers point at me when they mean you
       E/G#   F#m  E6      D           A
You're in the paper, every channel on TV
   E/G#   F#m   E6       D            A
My doppelganger, basking in your infamy
       E/G#   F#m     E6
You're like a mirror
        D              A       E/G#   F#m      E6
Showin' me who I could be if I was a monster
                  D                  A
Hey, I heard that sinister's the new sexy


(Bridge)
      E       E            D
And I get the short end of every stick you've got
              E    A          D
'Cause you're everything I'm not
      E               D                  E
Yeah, I'm good, but at least until I get caught


(Chorus)
               D
I wanna be the evil one
                  A
The twin that has all the fun
               D
I wanna be the evil one
                   A         E
Oh, please let me, just this once
D                                 A         E
All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
D                                  A       E
Maybe if I take your place they'll finally care
C#       D
 Oh, the favorite son
               E
I wanna be the evil one


(Contrast)
       D                E
'Cause frauds have more fun
             D         E
Who cares if I come undone
         D              E
I'm justified?? have more fun
             D        E(6)
Who cares if I come undone
               D         A
I wanna be the evil one
E               D        A    C#
 I wanna be the evil one!


(Chorus)

D                                 A         E
 All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
D                                   A       C#
 Maybe if I take your place they'll finally care
        D
Oh, the favorite son
               E
I wanna be the evil one
             D
Who cares if I come undone
               E
I wanna be the evil one
