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
