Chords with lyrics
E MajorE
A augmentedA
Acted nice when she’s not nice
B7B7
Well, I have some advice
A augmentedA
‘Cause it’s happened to me. Twice
E MajorE
Here’s my secret strategy
A augmentedA
It always works because
B7B7
The world doesn’t end
A augmentedA
It just feels like it does
E MajorE A augmentedA
So raise your right finger
B7B7 A augmentedA
And solemnly swear
E MajorE A augmentedA
"Whatever they say about me
B7B7 A augmentedA
I don’t care!"
E MajorE
I won’t twist in knots to join your game
A augmentedA
I will say, "you make me mad."
B7B7
And if you treat me bad
A augmentedA
I’ll say “you’re bad”
E MajorE
And if I eat alone from this moment on
A augmentedA
That’s just what I’ll do
E MajorE
‘Cause I’d rather be me
A augmentedA
I’d rather be me
B7B7 A augmentedA
I’d rather be me
E MajorE
Than be with you
E MajorE
We’re supposed to all be ladies
A augmentedA
And be nurturing and care
B7B7
Is that really fair?
A augmentedA
Boys get to fight, we have to share
E MajorE
Here’s the way that turns out
A augmentedA
We always understand
B7B7
How to slap someone down
A augmentedA
With our underhand
E MajorE A augmentedA
So here’s my right finger
B7B7 A augmentedA
To how girls should behave
E MajorE A augmentedA
'Cause sometimes what’s meant to break you
B7B7 A augmentedA
Makes you brave
E MajorE
So I will not act all innocent
A augmentedA
I won’t fake apologize
B7B7
Let’s just fight and then make up
A augmentedA
Not tell these lies
E MajorE
Let’s call our damage even
A augmentedA
Clean the slate till it's like new
E MajorE
It’s a new life for me
A augmentedA
Where I’d rather be me
B7B7 A augmentedA
I’d rather be me
E MajorE
Than be with you
G#G#
I'll say, "NO!"
F#F#
I’ll say, "knock it off, with your notes and your rules and your games."
G#G#
And those sycophants who follow you
I’ll remember all their names
C#C#
And when they drag you down
F#F#
Like they inevitably do
G#G#
I will not laugh along with them
BB C#C# E MajorE
And approve their palace coup, ‘cause that’s not me
E MajorE
I don’t need their good opinions
A augmentedA
I have plenty of opinions
B7B7
Everybody has opinions
A augmentedA
But it doesn’t make them true
E MajorE
What’s true is being me
A augmentedA
And I’d rather be me
B7B7 A augmentedA
I’d rather be me
E MajorE
Than be with you.
E MajorE
So raise them high
A augmentedA
‘cause playing nice and shy
B7B7 A augmentedA
Is insulting my IQ
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'd Rather Be Me
E MajorE
I'd Rather Be Me
A augmentedA E MajorE
I'd Rather Be Me than be with you!
A augmentedA
I'd Rather Be Me
E MajorE
I'd Rather Be Me
A augmentedA E MajorE
I'd Rather Be Me than be with you!
