Gm
I'm the low hiss telling you something's amiss
When you hear the sound.
Gm
I'm the whisper, I can do it better
When I look around.
Dm
I'm the siren sail beamin' from the highest shelf
You should really look down.
Gm
There is no roadblock that I couldn't unlock
I really get around.
Dm Gm
Seduction, pure function
Gm Am C
It's how I learned to speak
Gm Gm
Steal your power, in my hour
Gm Am Dm Dm
I could change most everything
Gm
I'm not the anthem,
Gm Dm Am
I once was an anthem
Bb A
I sang the song of me
Bb A
But now
Gm
There are no anthems
Gm Bb A Bb A
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring
Gm
I'm the sidewinder watching how to cut you down
I don't say a word
Iā??m a slow dream plannin' out my next scheme
I lay my moves down
Dm
I'm the pool boy fillin' you with cool joy
In my melody
Gm
I will lay low, figure out the way to go
Behind the scenes
Gm
I'm not the anthem,
Gm Dm Am
I once was an anthem
Bb A
I sang the song of me
Bb A
But now
Gm
There are no anthems
Gm Bb A
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring
Dm Gm
Seduction, pure function
Gm Am C
It's how I learned to speak
Gm Gm
Steal your power, in my hour
Gm Am Dm
I could change most everything
Gm
I'm not the anthem,
Gm Dm Gm
I once was an anthem
Bb A
I sang the song of me
Bb Am
But now
Gm
There are no anthems
Gm Bb A Bb A
And all I can hear is the echo, and the ring
Gm
But I want an anthem,
Gm Dm Am
A singular anthem
Bb A
An answer and a voice
Bb A
To feel
Gm
Rhythm in silence
Gm G5 Gm
A weapon, not vi-olence
Bb A
Power, power source
Full
key step up
Half
key step up
Half
key step down
Full
key step down
