Anthem chords by Phantom Planet

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse:
    E
I woke up today
           C#m
A song was swimming in my head
    A
And I hummed it to myself
     B
As I got out of bed
      E
And on the way to take a shower
       C#m
It all just dawned on me
    A                   B
That a song like this just might go down in history
E E7     A    Am        C#m     A  B
I quickly ran back to get my guitar, a pen and some paper


Chorus:
      E
Cause this whole world
     B
Needs an anthem
    C#m                A
And I'm trying to put the words where they belong
      E
Yeah, this whole world
     B
Needs an anthem
    C#m            A
And I'm hoping everyone will sing along

Verse:
    E
Well I quickly got to work
          C#m
And put the song in gear
    A
And my neighbor rang the doorbell
     B
Said it caught his ear
          E
I was playing it so loud
         C#m
The whole neighborhood could hear
    A
And at night from every household
        B
It became quite clear

E E7         A
Everyone just singing along
     Am      E
The same notes the same song
  C#m     A  B
Maybe I heard it wrong


Chorus:
      E
Cause this whole world
     B
Needs an anthem
    C#m                A
And I'm trying to put the words where they belong
      E
Yeah, this whole world
     B
Needs an anthem
    C#m            A
And I'm hoping everyone will sing along

E E7         A
Everyone just singing along
     Am      E
The same notes the same song
  C#m     A  B
Maybe I heard it wrong


Chorus:
      E
Cause this whole world
     B
Needs an anthem
    C#m                A
And I'm trying to put the words where they belong
      E
Yeah, this whole world
     B
Needs an anthem
    C#m            A
And I'm hoping everyone will sing along
