I Told You I Was Mean (acoustic)(Keyboard chords)

	        Intro: 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.  


  
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.  



       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.
