Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse:
    E MajorE
I woke up today
           C# minorC#m
A augmentedA song was swimming in my head
    A augmentedA
And I hummed it to myself
     BB
As I got out of bed
      E MajorE
And on the way to take a shower
       C# minorC#m
It all just dawned on me
    A augmentedA                   BB
That a song like this just might go down in history
E MajorE E7E7     A augmentedA    A minorAm        C# minorC#m     A augmentedA  BB
I quickly ran back to get my guitar, a pen and some paper

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

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

E MajorE E7E7         A augmentedA
Everyone just singing along
     A minorAm      E MajorE
The same notes the same song
  C# minorC#m     A augmentedA  BB
Maybe I heard it wrong

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

E MajorE E7E7         A augmentedA
Everyone just singing along
     A minorAm      E MajorE
The same notes the same song
  C# minorC#m     A augmentedA  BB
Maybe I heard it wrong


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