(Verse)
F#m E6
Give me some credit
D A E/G# F#m E6
I've been doing my job and you don't get it
D A E/G# F#m E6
Nobody does, you've got this habit
D A E/G# F#m E6
Of ruining everything - borderline wicked
D A
'Cause nice just didn't have the same ring
E/G# F#m E6
I go unnoticed
D A E/G# F#m E6
As you pretend to be me, but you're not like me, you just look it
D A
And I'm tired of being your opposite
(Bridge)
E/G# E D
You've got the style, the wit, the eye-patch and goatee
E A D
All I've got is me
E D E
And I'm good, but I'm not happy
(Chorus)
D
I wanna be the evil one
A
The twin that has all the fun
D
I wanna be the evil one
A E
Oh, please let me, just this once
D A E
All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
D A E
Maybe if I take your place they'll finally care
#C D
Oh, the favorite son
E
I wanna be the evil one
(Verse)
F#m E6
I'm used to rejection
D A
After all the shit you're putting me through
E/G# F#m E6 D A
Every direction, seeing fingers point at me when they mean you
E/G# F#m E6 D A
You're in the paper, every channel on TV
E/G# F#m E6 D A
My doppelganger, basking in your infamy
E/G# F#m E6
You're like a mirror
D A E/G# F#m E6
Showin' me who I could be if I was a monster
D A
Hey, I heard that sinister's the new sexy
(Bridge)
E E D
And I get the short end of every stick you've got
E A D
'Cause you're everything I'm not
E D E
Yeah, I'm good, but at least until I get caught
(Chorus)
D
I wanna be the evil one
A
The twin that has all the fun
D
I wanna be the evil one
A E
Oh, please let me, just this once
D A E
All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
D A E
Maybe if I take your place they'll finally care
C# D
Oh, the favorite son
E
I wanna be the evil one
(Contrast)
D E
'Cause frauds have more fun
D E
Who cares if I come undone
D E
I'm justified?? have more fun
D E(6)
Who cares if I come undone
D A
I wanna be the evil one
E D A C#
I wanna be the evil one!
(Chorus)
D A E
All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
D A C#
Maybe if I take your place they'll finally care
D
Oh, the favorite son
E
I wanna be the evil one
D
Who cares if I come undone
E
I wanna be the evil one
