Chords

[Intro] E A/E B/E A/E [Verse 1]
        E
So your best friend screwed you over

       A/E
Acted nice when she not nice

     B/E
Well, I have some advice

            A/E
‘Cause it’s happened to me. Twice.

          E
Here’s my secret strategy

         A/E
It always works because

    B/E
The world doesn’t end

        A/E
It just feels like it does
[Chorus]
               E    A/E
So raise your right finger

    B/E      A/E
And solemnly swear

     E              A/E
"Whatever they say about me

B/E     A/E
I don’t care!"
[Verse 2]
        E
I won’t twist in knots to join your game

       B
I will say, "you make me mad."

           C#m
And if you treat me bad

           A
I’ll say “you’re bad.”

        C#m
And if I eat alone from this moment on

       B              F#7
That’s just what I’ll do
[Chorus]
           A5
‘Cause I’d rather be me

    E
I’d rather be me

     B       
I’d rather be me

             E
than be with you
[Verse 3]
          E
We’re supposed to all be ladies

        A/E
And be nurturing and care

B/E
Is that really fair?

            A/E
Boys get to fight, we have to share

           E
Here’s the way that turns out

       A/E
We always understand

       B/E
How to slap someone down

        A/E
With our underhand
[Chorus]
             E     A/E
So here’s my right finger

       B/E            A/E
To how girls should behave

       E                         A/E
'Cause sometimes what’s meant to break you

B/E        A/E
Makes you brave
[Verse 3]
     E
So I will not act all innocent

        B
I won’t fake apologize

           C#m
Let’s just fight and then make up

              A
Not tell these lies

      C#m
Let’s call our damage even

          B                    F#7
Clean the slate till it's like new
[Chorus]
       A
It’s a new life for me

          E
Where I’d rather be me

    B         
I’d rather be me

             E
Than be with you
[Bridge]
          C#m
I'll say, "NO!"

                                    B
I’ll say, "knock it off, with your notes and your rules and your games."

           A
And those sycophants who follow you

      A                 G#7
I’ll remember all their names

              C#m
And when they drag you down

            B
Like they inevitably do

  A
I will not laugh along with them

       B                                         E
and approve their palace coup, ‘cause that’s not me
[Verse 4]
        C#m
I don’t need their good opinions

       A
I have plenty of opinions

     C#m
Everybody has opinions

       B                 F#7
but it doesn’t make them true
[Chorus]
       A
What’s true is being me

        E
And I’d rather be me

    B         
I’d rather be me

             E    
than be with you.

   C#m
So raise them high

                B
‘cause playing nice and shy

      A         F#7
is insulting my IQ
[Coda]
E                 F#7
   I’d rather be me

              A
I’d rather be me

                              E
I’d rather be me than be with you!

              F#7
I’d rather be me

              A
I’d rather be me

                       B B7sus4         E
I’d rather be me than be with you!
