Misc Soundtrack – Mean Girls - Id Rather Be Me (Ukulele)

        E
So your best friend screwed you over

      A
Acted nice when she’s not nice

      B
Well, I have some advice

            A
‘Cause it’s happened to me. Twice

          E
Here’s my secret strategy

          A
It always works because

    B
The world doesn’t end

        A
It just feels like it does

              E     A
So raise your right finger

    B       A
And solemnly swear

     E              A
"Whatever they say about me

B       A
I don’t care!"

        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

           A
‘Cause I’d rather be me

    E
I’d rather be me

    B                 B7      E
I’d rather be me than be with you

         E
We’re supposed to all be ladies

       A
And be nurturing and care

B
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

       B
How to slap someone down

         A
With our underhand

          E        A
So here’s my right finger

       B              A
To how girls should behave

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

B         A
Makes you brave

     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

       A
It’s a new life for me

      E
Where I’d rather be me

    B
I’d rather be me

     B7      E
Than be with you

          C#m
I'll say, "NO!"

C#m
NO!

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

          A
And those sycophants who follow you

                        B
I’ll remember all their names

              C#m
And when they drag you down

          B
Like they inevitably do

  A                                                       B                       E
I will not laugh along with them and approve their palace coup, ‘cause that’s not me

              B
Janis. Janis. Janis. Janis

        C#m
I don’t need their good opinions

       A
I have plenty of opinions

     C#m                      B                 F#7
Everybody has opinions but it doesn’t make them true

       A
What’s true is being me

        E                                                              E
And I’d rather be me                                           And I’d rather be me

     B                 B  B7   E                                   B                 B  B7   E
I’d rather be me than be with you.                             I’d rather be me than be with you.

   C#m                    B                       A             F#7
So raise them high ‘cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ

                  E
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

              F#7
I'd Rather Be Me

              A
I'd Rather Be Me

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

              F#7
I'd Rather Be Me

              A
I'd Rather Be Me

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