[Intro]
E   A/E  B/E   A/E
[Verse 1]
So your Ebest friend screwed you over
Acted nA/Eice when she not nice
Well, B/EI have some advice
‘Cause it’s A/Ehappened to me. Twice.
Here’s my Esecret strategy
It always A/Eworks because
The B/Eworld doesn’t end
It just A/Efeels like it does
[Chorus]
So raise your rEight A/Efinger
And B/Esolemnly A/Eswear
"WhatEever they say aA/Ebout me
B/EI don’t A/Ecare!"
[Verse 2]
I won’t Etwist in knots to join your game
I will Bsay, "you make me mad."
And if you C#mtreat me bad
I’ll say “yAou’re bad.”
And if I C#meat alone from this moment on
That’s Bjust what I’ll F#7do
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’d A5rather be me
I’d Erather be me
I’d rBather be me
than be with Eyou
[Verse 3]
We’re suppEosed to all be ladies
And be nA/Eurturing and care
B/EIs that really fair?
Boys get to A/Efight, we have to share
Here’s the Eway that turns out
We alwaA/Eys understand
How to B/Eslap someone down
With our A/Eunderhand
[Chorus]
So here’s my Eright A/Efinger
To how B/Egirls should beA/Ehave
'Cause Esometimes what’s meant to A/Ebreak you
B/EMakes you bA/Erave
[Verse 3]
So I Ewill not act all innocent
I won’t Bfake apologize
Let’s just C#mfight and then make up
Not tell these Alies
Let’s C#mcall our damage even
Clean the Bslate till it's like F#7new
[Chorus]
It’s a Anew life for me
Where I’d Erather be me
I’d Brather be me
Than be with Eyou
[Bridge]
I'll say, C#m"NO!"
I’ll say, "knock it off, with your nBotes and your rules and your games."
And those sAycophants who follow you
I’ll rAemember all their G#7names
And when they C#mdrag you down
Like they inBevitably do
I Awill not laugh along with them
and appBrove their palace coup, ‘cause that’s not Eme
[Verse 4]
I don’t C#mneed their good opinions
I have Aplenty of opinions
EveryC#mbody has opinions
but it Bdoesn’t make them F#7true
[Chorus]
What’s Atrue is being me
And I’d Erather be me
I’d Brather be me
than be with Eyou.
So C#mraise them high
‘cause playing nBice and shy
is insAulting my F#7IQ
[Coda]
   EI’d rather be mF#7e
I’d rather be Ame
I’d rather be me than be with Eyou!
I’d rather be F#7me
I’d rather be Ame
I’d rather be me than bBe B7sus4with you!E

‘Cause it’s happened to me. Twice.

Here’s my secret strategy

It always works because

The world doesn’t end

It just feels like it does

[Chorus]

E A/E

So raise your right finger

B/E A/E

And solemnly swear

"Whatever they say about me

B/E A/E

I don’t care!"

[Verse 2]

I won’t twist in knots to join your game

I will say, "you make me mad."

And if you treat me bad

I’ll say “you’re bad.”

And if I eat alone from this moment on

We always understand

How to slap someone down

With our underhand

[Chorus]

Not tell these lies

And when they drag you down

Like they inevitably do

I will not laugh along with them

I don’t need their good opinions

I have plenty of opinions

Everybody has opinions

but it doesn’t make them true
