Mean To Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]She came [D]all the [G]way from Amer[Bm]ica
She had [G]a blind date with dest[A]iny
And [D]the sound of [G]Te
[Bm]Awamutu
[A]Had a truly sacred ring
Now her par[G]ents are di[D]vorced
And [F#]her friend's committing [G]suicide
I [A]could not escape

[Verse 2]
[D]
A plea from the [G]heart
You know what it [C]means to me
[A]You said, "Don't walk awa[D]y
I'm down on my [G]knees
Well, please don't be mean
[C]to me?[Am][A]

[Verse 3]
So I [D]talked to [G]you for an [Bm]hour
In the [G]bar of a small town [A]hotel
[G]And you ask[D]ed me wha[G]t I was thinking[Bm]
I was [A]thinking of a padded cell
With a [G]black and white [D]TV
[F#]To stop us from getting [G]lonely
I [A]could not escape

[Verse 4]
[D]
A plea from the [G]heart
You know what it [C]means to me
[A]You said, "Don't walk [D]away
I'm down on my [G]knees
Well, please don't be [C]mean to me?
Didn't [A]know, I could not es[D]cape

[Verse 5]
A plea from the [G]heart
Mysterious [C]sympathy
[A]I couldn't wait for a c[D]hance
To walk out [G]the door
You know what it [C]means to [A]me

[Verse 6]
[Bm]I sa[G]w yo[D]u [G]lyin[D]g[G][Bm][G]
in the arms of a [Bm]poet[B][Bm]
[G]I heard him tell you tantalizing
[Bm]lies[G]
Whad'd'ya know, whad'd'y[A]a know
I [D]could not escape

[Verse 7]
You're down on [G]the floor
You know what it [C]means to me
I [G]couldn't [A]wait for [D]a chance
Walk out [G]the door
[C]Mean, [A]mean
I [G]could not escape

[Verse 8]
[D]
I'm down on [G]my knees
You know what it [C]means,
[A]what it mea[D]ns[G][C][A][D][G]
[C][A][D][G]
What [C]it means, what [A]it means[D][G][C]
In the arms of a poet
You know what it means
