I Told You I Was Mean Tab par Elle King

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



[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

                    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
