I Told You I Was Mean Acoustic Chords
This is the first time I've looked for a song and not found it so I thought
it was time to create one for everyone else.
Comments for improvement are welcome. Otherwise enjoy this great song and
sing it like someone ripped your heart out....and you don't care so much. RD
G C E Am G
C
I lied to you.
E
I never cried for you.
Am
I swear that I tried to.
G
But I have better things to do.
C
Now you're on the road,
E
with your painful load,
Am
and the words I spoke,
G
left your big heart broken.
Chorus:
F G
You know you still bother
C E Am
because love is for the poor.
F G
So I left you knockin'
C E Am
outside my front door.
F G
You knew what this was.
C E Am
I don't want you anymore.
F G
I warned you before.
F G
I warned you before.
F G C
That i could've sworn, I told you I was mean.
E Am G
C
You were a sweet old thing.
E Am
And I was lonely, so I let you hold me,
G
for a limited time only.
C
You seeeeeeeeeeee...
C E
You're nothing to meeeeeeeeeeee...
Am
Cuz I'll always beeeeeeeeee...
G
a bad bad seed.
Chorus:
F G
And....you know you still bother
C E Am
because love is for the poor.
F G
So I left you knockin'
C E Am
outside my front door.
F G
You knew what this was.
C E Am
I don't want you anymore.
F G
I warned you before.
F G
I warned you before.
F G C
That I could've sworn, I told you I was mean.
E Am G
dum di dum, dum dum
C
I'm just a mean ol' thing'.
E Am
dum di dum, dum dum
F G
Ain't no use to bother,
C E Am
because love is for the poor.
F G
So cut out your knockin'
C E Am
cuz I will never come, I will never come to the door.
F G
You knew just what this was
C E Am
and I don't want you forevermore.
F G
I warned you before, hey baby.
F G
I warned you before, oh honey.
F G C
Well I could've sworn, I told you I was mean.
