  • Artist:

Tune guitar Just slightly sharp....

Intro:

E-E-E-B-DbMin-A

E                                   DbMin

I woke up today a song was swimming in my head

        A                             B
And I hummed it to myself as I got out of bed

          E                            DbMin
And on the way to take a shower it all just dawned on me

    A                                  B
That a song like this just might go down in history

E           A      Am9(?)     E
I quickly ran back to get my guitar

Dbmin     A      B
A pen and some paper


Chorus (same as intro)

E                                 B
'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem


          DbMin                            A

And I'm trying to put the words where they belong
    E                            B

Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem
      Dbmin            B  A

And I'm hoping everyone will sing along

E                                    DbMin

Well I quickly got to work and put the song in gear
       A                                  B

And my neighbor rang the doorbell said it caught his ear

       E                                    DbMin
I was playing it so loud the whole neighborhood could hear

      A                             B
And at night from every household it became quite clear
   E                 A

Everyone was singing along
   Am                E

The same notes the same song
DbMin          A       B

Or maybe I heard it wrong


(same as top)


'Cause this whole world needs an Anthem
And I'm trying to put the words where they belong
Yeah this whole world needs an Anthem
And I'm hoping everyone will sing along.


E                            A

Everyone was singing along
E                          DbMin

The same notes the same song
A                              B

Or maybe I heard it wrong


Chorus again

It's nowhere near perfect, but I like phantom planet
just as the rest of you do; they have the sweetest
melodies since the Beatles; and we definetley need to
get some kinda library goin for them.....
