Mean To Me Chords by Crowded House

[Start]

[Verse]
         E       A        Dbm    
She came all the way from America
          A               B      
She had a blind date with destiny
        E        A  Dbm    
And the sound of Te Awamutu
      B                
Had a truly sacred ring
        A           E       
Now her parents are divorced
        Ab                  A      
And her friend's committing suicide


[Chorus]
  B         E     
I could not escape
            A        
A plea from the heart
                 D          
You know what it means to me
B   B7               E    E7
You say I don't walk away ■ 
               A7   
I'm down on my knees
   E               D       B 
So please don't be mean to me


[Verse]
     E         A          Dbm 
So I talked to you for an hour
       A                   B    
In the bar of a small town hotel
        E        A          Dbm     
And you asked me what I was thinking
      B                        
I was thinking of a padded cell
       A               E 
With a black and white TV
Abm             Ab      A     
To stop us from getting lonely
  B               
I could not escape
E               A    
A plea from the heart
E                D          
You know what it means to me
B                   E7  
You said don't walk away
            A  A7   
I'm down on my knees
A                  D       B7
So please don't be mean to me
                     E7    
You know I could not escape


[Chorus]
                A7   
A plea from the heart
E7         D        B7
Mysterious sympathy ■ 
                      E7    
I couldn't wait for a chance
                A    E
To walk out the door ■
                 D          
You know what it means to me
B7 Dbm Db7 Dbm E Dbm
■  ■   ■   ■   ■ ■  
A                                     Dbm
I saw you lying in the arms of a poet ■  
            A                       
I heard him ■ tell you tatantalizing
Dbm  A

What d'ya know
  B7

You know what it means to me
                      E7    
I couldn't wait for a chance
                A    E7
To walk out the door ■ 
D    D7 A   
Mean ■  Mean
            E7    
I could not escape
            E7      
I'm down on my knees
    E            D    
You know what it means
B7         E7   
■  What it means
