So your ^Ebest friend screwed you over Acted n^Aice when she’s not nice Well, ^B7I have some advice ‘Cause it’s ^Ahappened to me. Twice

Here’s my ^Esecret strategy It always ^Aworks because The ^B7world doesn’t end It just ^Afeels like it does

So raise your r^Eight ^Afinger And ^B7solemnly s^Awear "What^Eever they say ^Aabout me ^B7I don’t ^Acare!"

I won’t ^Etwist in knots to join your game I will ^Asay, "you make me mad." And if you ^B7treat me bad I’ll say ^A“you’re bad”

And if I ^Eeat alone from this moment on That’s ^Ajust what I’ll do

‘Cause I’d ^Erather be me I’d ^Arather be me I’d r^B7ather be ^Ame than be with ^Eyou

We’re ^Esupposed to all be ladies And be ^Anurturing and care Is ^B7that really fair? Boys get to ^Afight, we have to share

Here’s the ^Eway that turns out We always ^Aunderstand How to ^B7slap someone down With our ^Aunderhand

So here’s my ^Eright ^Afinger To how ^B7girls should ^Abehave 'Cause ^Esometimes what’s meant to ^Abreak you ^B7Makes you ^Abrave

So I ^Ewill not act all innocent I won’t ^Afake apologize Let’s just ^B7fight and then make up Not tell these ^Alies

Let’s ^Ecall our damage even Clean the ^Aslate till it's like new

It’s a ^Enew life for me Where I’d ^Arather be me I’d ^B7rather be ^Ame Than be with ^Eyou

I'll say, ^G#"NO!" I’ll say, "knock it off, with your ^F#notes and your rules and your games." And those ^G#sycophants who follow you

And when they ^C#drag you down Like they in^F#evitably do I ^G#will not laugh along with them and app^Brove their palace c^C#oup, ‘cause that’s not m^Ee

I don’t ^Eneed their good opinions I have ^Aplenty of opinions Every^B7body has opinions but it ^Adoesn’t make them true

What’s ^Etrue is being me And I’d ^Arather be me I’d ^B7rather be ^Ame than be with ^Eyou.

So ^Eraise them high ‘cause playing ^Anice and shy is ins^B7ulting my ^AIQ

^EI'd Rather Be ^AMe I'd Rather Be ^EMe I'd Rather Be ^AMe than be with ^Eyou! I'd Rather Be ^AMe I'd Rather Be ^EMe I'd Rather Be ^AMe than be with ^Eyou!
