This song is super easy, and I think this sounds correct.
Hopefully you'll agree.


INTRO
E B C#m A


VERSE
E C#m
I woke up today a song was swimmin in my head
A B
and I hummed it to myself as i got out of bed
E C#m
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


PRE-CHORUS
E E7 A Am E
I quickly ran back to get my guitar
C#m A B
a pen and some paper


CHORUS
E B
cause this whole world needs an anthem
C#m A
and I'm trying to put the words where they belong
E B
yeah this whole world needs anthem
C#m A
and I'm hopin everyone will sing along


That's pretty much it. Just keep repeating those changes.

the anthem he's talking about writing is just so cool, ya know? it's like a way to get world peace or something because everyone would agree on one anthem to sing and we'd all get along etc. awesome!

It's about the whole world needing to unite and this guy finds a way to do it through a "song". I say that b/c I don't think this is so much about an actual song as it is everyone on Earth being in harmony or peace ( the same otes, the same song). Or perhaps he just wants everyone to sing his song.

i love this song so much...its just perfect, it's nice to put you to sleep or even better to put you in a content mood. its just so awesome...like ok imagine if everyone was singin the same song...and everyone enjoyed that song. that means that we would all overcome our differences and live life in harmony with others...what a simple, yet AMAZING song

To me, an anthem is what brings a country together so, like mandar said, I think it's about bringing the world together. And he says he hopes that everyone will sing along. He wants everyone to be included, not just some countries, some groups, etc.

Its pretty awesome you know? Just like the idea of the whole world forgeting about their problems and coming together over one song...that would be basically amazing

Exactly it dosn't really mean anything. He is just kinda saying it would be kinda cool to have a song that everyone knows and likes and sings and feels happy about. It is basically a song about the perfect anthem.

its written about that feeling you get when you write a song you really like. i know it myself. and it also contains part of that dream, that everyone will love your song and sing along. its just a song about wanting to write a song everyone loves.

How increadibly cool is it that this is a song about writting a song? Maybe it's just me but I think that it's neat.
