Lyrics

I could be mean,

I could be an gry.

You know I could be (Fsus2)just like you.

I could be fake,

I could be stu pid.

You know I could be (Fsus2)just like you.

You thought you were stand ing be side me.

You were on ly in my way.

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

You thought you were (C5)there to guide me.

You were on ly (Bb5)in my way.

You’re wrong if you (C5)think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

You thought you were (C5)there to guide me.

You were on ly (Bb5)in my way.

You’re wrong if you (C5)think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

I could be cold,

I could be ruth less.

You know I could be (Fsus2)just like you.

I could be weak,

I could be sense less.

You know I could be (Fsus2)just like you.

You thought you were stand ing be side me.

You were on ly in my way.

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

You thought you were (C5)there to guide me.

You were on ly (Bb5)in my way.

You’re wrong if you (C5)think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

You thought you were (C5)there to guide me.

You were on ly (Bb5)in my way.

You’re wrong if you (C5)think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

(Fsus2)On my (C)own,

’cause I can’t take liv ing with you.

(Fsus2)I’m a (C)lone,

so I won’t turn out like (G)you want me to.

You thought you were stand ing be side me.

You were on ly in my way.

You’re wrong if you think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

You thought you were (C5)there to guide me.

You were on ly (Bb5)in my way.

You’re wrong if you (C5)think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

You thought you were (C5)there to guide me.

You were on ly (Bb5)in my way.

You’re wrong if you (C5)think that I’ll be (F5)just like you.

I could be mean,

I could be an gry.

You know I could be (Fsus2)just like you.
