The Mountain Goats – Pseudothyrum Song (Guitar)

 D           G            A
Why do you treat me this way?

 D              G      A                       
And why do you try so hard to break my spirit?

          Em                A                  D
I think someone was mean to you when you were little

              G
That's what I think

G          A                D
I think someone was mean to you

D            G             A        
Why do you cling to such petty points of contention?

D                   G                          A
And why don't you allow me one or two small victories now and then?

            Em                A                         D
I think someone was mean to you when you didn't deserve it

             G
That's what I think

G         A                  D
I think someone was mean to you

   G D G
But I

               A
I am not that guy, can you get that straight?

D                             G
I am a completely different person

         Bm               A
From the one you have in mind

D             G                      A         D
Why do you stand by the things you say long after

                   G               A
You don't mean to hurt anybody anymore?

G                            A
I think someone was mean to you

D                   G                   D
For a long, long time, that's what I think

            A                D
I think someone was mean to you
