I'd Rather Be Me Uke tab by Barrett Wilbert Weed

E
So your best friend screwed you over
       A
Acted nice when she’s not nice
      B7
Well, I have some advice
            A
‘Cause it’s happened to me. Twice

          E
Here’s my secret strategy
          A
It always works because
    B7
The world doesn’t end
        A
It just feels like it does

               E    A
So raise your right finger
    B7        A
And solemnly swear
     E             A
"Whatever they say about me
B7      A
I don’t care!"

        E
I won’t twist in knots to join your game
       A
I will say, "you make me mad."
           B7
And if you treat me bad
         A
I’ll say “you’re bad”

         E
And if I eat alone from this moment on
       A
That’s just what I’ll do

           E
‘Cause I’d rather be me
    A
I’d rather be me
     B7       A
I’d rather be me
             E
than be with you

      E
We’re supposed to all be ladies
       A
And be nurturing and care
   B7
Is that really fair?
            A
Boys get to fight, we have to share

           E
Here’s the way that turns out
          A
We always understand
       B7
How to slap someone down
         A
With our underhand

             E     A
So here’s my right finger
       B7           A
To how girls should behave
       E                         A
'Cause sometimes what’s meant to break you
B7        A
Makes you brave

     E
So I will not act all innocent
        A
I won’t fake apologize
           B7
Let’s just fight and then make up
               A
Not tell these lies

      E
Let’s call our damage even
          A
Clean the slate till it's like new

       E
It’s a new life for me
          A
Where I’d rather be me
    B7        A
I’d rather be me
             E
Than be with you

          G#
I'll say, "NO!"
                                   F#
I’ll say, "knock it off, with your notes and your rules and your games."
          G#
And those sycophants who follow you

I’ll remember all their names
              C#
And when they drag you down
            F#
Like they inevitably do
  G#
I will not laugh along with them
       B                  C#                      E
and approve their palace coup, ‘cause that’s not me

        E
I don’t need their good opinions
       A
I have plenty of opinions
     B7
Everybody has opinions
       A
but it doesn’t make them true

       E
What’s true is being me
        A
And I’d rather be me
    B7        A
I’d rather be me
             E
than be with you.

   E
So raise them high
               A
‘cause playing nice and shy
      B7        A
is insulting my IQ

E             A
I'd Rather Be Me
              E
I'd Rather Be Me
              A               E
I'd Rather Be Me than be with you!
              A
I'd Rather Be Me
              E
I'd Rather Be Me
              A               E
I'd Rather Be Me than be with you!
