Queen Of Mean

Em C D Am

Em              C
I'm so tired of pretending
D                 Am
Where's my happy ending

Em
I followed all the rules
C
I drew inside the lines
D                               Am
I never asked for anything that wasn't mine
Em
I waited patiently for my time
C
But when it finally came
D
He called her name
Am                      Em
And now I feel this overwhelming pain
         C
I mean it's in my veins
         D
I mean it's in my brain
Am                                         Em
My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train
C                                       D
I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame
       Am
I know exactly who to blame

Em          C                    D    Am
    I never thought of myself as mean
Em       C                       D
I always thought that I'd be the queen
                  Em
And there's no in between
            C
'Cause if I can't have that
     D                            Am
Then I would be the leader of the dark
        Em
And the bad
Em                        C
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
                         D
Where the angels used to be
Am                           Em
And he's calling me the queen

Em                   C
Being nice was my pastime
              D                      Am
But I've been hurt for the last time
            Em                           C
And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me
    D                    Am
The anger burns my skin, third-degree
       Em                            C
Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea
          D                     Am
There's nobody getting close to me
                         Em
They're gonna bow to the Evil Queen
C
Your nightmare's my dream
D                                Am
Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes

Em          C                    D   Am
    I never thought of myself as mean
Em       C                       D
I always thought that I'd be the queen
                  Em
And there's no in between
            C
'Cause if I can't have that
     D                            Am
Then I would be the leader of the dark
    Em
And the bad
Em                        C
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
          D
Where the angels used to be
Am                           Em.   C
And he's calling me the queen     (calling me, calling me)
             D
The queen of mean    (calling me, calling me)
Em             Am
  The queen of mean    (calling me, calling me)

Em
Something's pulling me
C
It's so magnetic
D
My body is moving
Am
Unsure where I'm headed
Em                    C
All of my senses have left me defenseless
D
This darkness around me
Am
Is promising vengeance
Em                            C
The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive
D
There's nothing to lose
Am
When you're lonely and friendless
Em                     C
So my only interest is showing this princess
D
That I am the queen
Am
And my reign will be endless (endless)

            Em
I want what I deserve
          C
I want to rule the world
N.C.         Em         C
Sit back and watch them learn
D
It's finally my turn
(Vocals have a key change up a half-step on "turn", Chords do not change.)

   Em      C                    D    Am
   If they want a villain for a queen
   Em           C                      D
   I'm gonna be one like they've never seen
D                      Em
I'll show them what it means
C
Now that I am that
D                          Am
I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad
Em                         C
  'Cause the devil's on my shoulder
                 D
Where the angels used to be
        Am                       Em    C                      D
And he's calling me the queen of mean (calling me, calling me)
             Em    C                     D
The queen of mean (calling me, calling me)
            Em
I want what I deserve
