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
