My Anthem Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh,[Am] oh, [C]oh, oh, oh[G]
In a world, in a town,
[Am]on a road [C]in a car
Goin' nowhere fast
Just [G]a girl with a boy who'd
never [Am]been that far
[C]And he could never go back
[G]I was tired of talking about going to col
[Am]lege somewhere
You were tired [C]of your parents
fighting downstairs
We thought we [G]could outrun [Am]our youth
You and [C]me could outrun the truth

[Verse 2]
You wer[G]en't just a prayer,
you were my [Am]salvation
You weren't [Em]just my first,
you [C]were my education
You wer[G]en't just a song on the [Am]radio
You were [Em]my solid gold centerfold
[C]Daddy hates my rock and roll
[G]Back seat dancin',
[Am]we ain't never growin' old ant[Em]hem
[C]Yea[Am]h, you[C] were my [Am]an t[G]hem

[Verse 3]
[Am]Oh, [Em]oh, o[C]h, oh, oh

[Verse 4]
In a [G]house, in a room with a
[Am]poster on the [C]wall
[Am]Looking for a way [C]out
[G]In a yard, in the dark,
climbin' [Am]a fence just to fall
[C]Thought that's what love was about
[G]Even when you had to put my jacket
[Am]around your shoulders
We preten[C]ded that
the summer wasn't over
We thought we [G]could
outrun our [Am]youth
[Dsus4]You and me coul[C]d
out[Am]run t[C]he truth

[Verse 5]
You wer[G]en't just a prayer,
you were my [Am]salvation
You wer[Em]en't just my first,
you [C]were my education
You wer[G]en't just a song on the [Am]radio
You were [Em]my solid gold centerfold
[C]Daddy hates my rock and roll
[G]Back seat dancin',
[Am]we ain't never growin' old ant[Em]hem
[C]Yeah, you were my ant[G]hem
[Am][Em]

[Verse 6]
[C]
You were the [D]backbeat of freedom
The front [Em]row kind of feeling
[C]And just what I needed to hear
The kind you wanna [D]sing [Em]along
Baby, with your [C]blue jeans on
We thought [G]we could outrun our [Am]youth
You and [C]me could outrun the truth

[Verse 7]
You wer[G]en't just a prayer,
you were my [Am]salvation
You wer[Em]en't just my first,
you [C]were my education
You wer[G]en't just a song on the [Am]radio
You were [Em]my solid gold centerfold
[C]Daddy hates my rock and roll
[G]Back seat dancin',
[Am]we ain't never growin' old ant[Em]hem
[C]Yeah, you were my [Am]anthem

[Verse 8]
[G]The[Am] kind you want to s[Em]ing along
[C]The [G]kin[Am]d you want to sing [Em]along
[C][G]
