I Told You I Was Mean

C E Am G


[Verse 1]
  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   E  Am  G
That i could've sworn, I told you I was mean


[Verse 2]
           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
        E        Am
dum di dum, dum dum
G                   C
I'm just a mean ol' thing
       E        Am
dum di dum, dum dum
