Mean To Me
(N. Finn)
E A C#m
She came all the way from America
A Bsus B
Had a blind date with destiny
E A C#m
And the sound of Te Awamutu
Bsus B
Had a truly sacred ring
A E
Now her parents are divorced
G# A
And her friend’s committing suicide
B E
I could not escape
A
A plea from the heart
D B
You know what it means to me
E
She said don’t walk away
A
I’m down on my knees
D B
So please don’t be mean to me
So I talked to you for an hour
In the bar of a small town hotel
You asked me what I was thinking
I was thinking of a padded cell
With a black and white T.V.
To stop us from getting lonely
I could not escape
A plea from the heart
You know what it means to me
She said don’t walk away
I’m down on my knees
So please don’t be mean to me
No, I could not escape
A plea from the heart
Mysterious sympathy
I couldn’t wait for a chance
To walk out the door
D B C#m
You know what it means to me
A C#m
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet
A C#m
I heard him tell you t…tantalizing lies (about me)
A B
Well whad’d’ya know, whad’d’ya know
I could not escape
You’re down on the floor
You know what it means to me
I couldn’t wait for a chance
To walk out the door
Mean …
You know what it means
In the arms of a poet
You know what it means
