Anthem[+]

[Verse I:]
Gm
There will be a hero born tonight
Gm                               F      Cm-F
A bright flash of light and then glory
F
A hero's story
F               Gm 
Look at all the medals on your coat
Gm                              F      Cm-F
The lump in your throat, nobody knows
F                                G#
It's 3 a.m. and the TV glows and
G#       #D              Gm   F 
Play the anthem one more time
G#       #D              Gm   F
Play the anthem one more time

[Verse II:]
Gm
All of the gratitude and praise
Gm                                 F         Cm-F
Is wasted and misplaced on foolish pleasures
F
And wasted treasures
F              Gm
And though you wouldn't tell a soul
Gm                                    F       Cm
You'd like to see them all learn some lessons
Cm  F                           F
You taught some lessons not too long ago and
G#       #D              Gm   F 
Play the anthem one more time
G#       #D              Gm   F
Play the anthem one more time

G#  #D

G# D# Gm F
G# D#

[Verse III:]
D#                 Gm
Somewhere down the corridor tonight
Gm                           F      Cm
There is a light that shines through
F
Shines down on you
F               Gm
And if you were looking for a sign
                                         F   Cm
A place to draw the line, well there you are
Cm  F 
The guns are loaded and there's gas in the car and
G#       #D              Gm   F 
Play the anthem one more time
G#       #D              Gm   F
Play the anthem one more time
G#       #D              Gm   F 
Play the anthem one more time
G#       #D              Gm   F
Play the anthem one more time
G#       #D              Gm        F 
Play the anthem one more time time time
