Anthem For The Weak

Bb Bb Bb Bb

[Verse 1]
Bb
my friends don’t like you much
                     Cm
i’m a victim to your touch
Eb
running ‘round hands free
Cm                    Bb            Eb
but you got a hold on me, on me, on me

[Verse 2]
Bb
you keep me stuck in bed
                      Cm
when you linger in my head
Eb
screaming your profanities
Cm                        Bb                Eb
i’m gripping tight to the key, the key, the key


[Pre-Chorus]
  Cm
i try to ignore every word you say
    Eb
but i’d have to forget my own name


[Chorus]
                               Bb
you’re writing anthems for the weak
                               Cm
i don’t wanna hear ‘em but i’m weak
    Eb                                               Bb
i’m black and i’m blue and i’m tired of singing with you
                               Bb
you’re writing anthems for the weak
                                     Cm
i’m hooked on every word because i’m weak
        Eb                                           Bb          Eb
well my mouth won’t stop moving but every song feels out of tune


[Verse 3]
Bb
i don’t go outside
                    Cm
i don’t like the sunshine
Eb                         Cm                   Bb
you told me too many times that it will burn my eyes
                Eb
my eyes my eyes


[Verse 4]
Bb
i’m not good at guitar
                        Cm
you say that i won’t go far
    Eb
for some reason i listen
Cm                 Bb               Eb
i always seem to listen, listen, listen


[Pre-Chorus]
  Cm
i try to ignore everything you say
    Eb
but i’d have to forget my own name


[Chorus]
