I Told You I Was Mean Acoustic chords by Elle King

Chords with lyrics

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+G C majorC E MajorE A minorAm G+G

 C majorC
I lied to you.
    E MajorE
I never cried for you.
       A minorAm
I swear that I tried to.
      G+G
But I have better things to do.
  C majorC
Now you're on the road,
     E MajorE
with your painful load,
    A minorAm
and the words I spoke,
     G+G
left your big heart broken.

Chorus:
FF         G+G
You know you still bother
    C majorC    E MajorE    A minorAm
because love is for the poor.
FF       G+G
So I left you knockin'
  C majorC  E MajorE    A minorAm
outside my front door.
FF    G+G
You knew what this was.
    C majorC    E MajorE A minorAm
I don't want you anymore.
FF       G+G
I warned you before.
FF       G+G
I warned you before.
FF        G+G            C majorC
That i could've sworn, I told you I was mean.
E MajorE  A minorAm   G+G

      C majorC
You were a sweet old thing.
     E MajorE          A minorAm
And I was lonely, so I let you hold me,
   G+G
for a limited time only.
  C majorC
You seeeeeeeeeeee...
C majorC         E MajorE
You're nothing to meeeeeeeeeeee...
        A minorAm
Cuz I'll always beeeeeeeeee...
G+G
a bad bad seed.

Chorus:
    FF         G+G
And....you know you still bother
    C majorC    E MajorE    A minorAm
because love is for the poor.
FF       G+G
So I left you knockin'
  C majorC  E MajorE    A minorAm
outside my front door.
FF    G+G
You knew what this was.
    C majorC    E MajorE A minorAm
I don't want you anymore.
FF       G+G
I warned you before.
FF       G+G
I warned you before.
FF        G+G            C majorC
That I could've sworn, I told you I was mean.
    E MajorE    A minorAm   G+G
dum di dum, dum dum
          C majorC

    E MajorE    A minorAm

FF        G+G
Ain't no use to bother,
    C majorC    E MajorE    A minorAm
because love is for the poor.
FF        G+G
So cut out your knockin'
      C majorC         E MajorE         A minorAm
cuz I will never come, I will never come to the door.
FF       G+G
You knew just what this was
      C majorC    E MajorE   A minorAm
and I don't want you forevermore.
FF       G+G
