Intro: Gm Eb F Cm

Verse 1:
Gm                              Eb
I'm so tired of pretending
F         Cm
Where's my happy ending?
Gm                              Eb
I followed all the rules
F         Cm
I drew inside the lines
Gm                              Eb
I never asked for anything that wasn't mine
F         Cm
I waited patiently for my time
Gm                              Eb
But when it finally came
F         Cm
He called her name
Gm                              Eb
And now I feel this overwhelming pain
F         Cm
I mean it's in my veins
Gm                              Eb
I mean it's in my brain
F         Cm
My thoughts are running in a circle like a toy train
Gm                              Eb
I'm kinda like a perfect picture with a broken frame
F         Cm
I know exactly who to blame
 
Chorus:
Gm Eb
    I never thought of myself as mean
(nc)    F
I always thought that I'd be the queen
Cm      Gm
And there's no in between
Eb
'Cause if I can't have that
F       Cm
Then I would be the leader of the dark
 
And the bad
Gm      Eb
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
        F
Where the angels used to be
Cm
And he's calling me the queen
 
Verse 2:
Gm      Eb
Being nice was my pastime
F                 Cm
But I've been hurt for the last time
    Gm                            Eb
And I won't ever let another person take advantage of me
F                  Cm
The anger burns my skin, third-degree
       Gm                  Eb
Now my blood's boiling hotter than a fiery sea
          F            Cm
There's nobody getting close to me
                         Gm
They're gonna bow to the Evil Queen
Eb
Your nightmare's my dream
F                                Cm
Just wait until they fall to my wicked schemes
 
Chorus:
Gm Eb    F    Cm
    I never thought of myself as mean
Gm Eb    F    Cm
    I always thought that I'd be the queen
        Gm
And there's no in between
Eb
'Cause if I can't have that
F       Cm
Then I would be the leader of the dark
 
And the bad
Gm      Eb
Now there's a devil on my shoulder
        F
Where the angels used to be
Cm
And he's calling me the queen
        Gm      Eb
And he's calling me the queen of mean     (calling me, calling me)
        F Cm       Gm         Eb
The queen of mean    (calling me, calling me)
        F  Cm
The queen of mean    (calling me, calling me)
 
Verse 3:
Gm
Something's pulling me
Eb
It's so magnetic
F
My body is moving
Cm
Unsure where I'm headed
Gm      Eb
All of my senses have left me defenseless
F
This darkness around me
Cm
Is promising vengeance
Gm                  Eb
The price that I'm willing to pay is expensive
F
There's nothing to lose
Cm
When you're lonely and friendless
Gm      Eb
So my only interest is showing this princess
F
That I am the queen
Cm
And my reign will be endless (endless)
 
Bridge:
Gm      Eb
I want what I deserve
        F
I want to rule the world
 
(nc)    Gm   Eb
Sit back and watch them learn
F
It's finally my turn
 
Chorus:
Gm Eb    F     Cm
   If they want a villain for a queen
Gm           Eb                         F     CM
   I'm gonna be one like they've never seen
        Gm
I'll show them what it means
Eb
Now that I am that
F                          Cm
I will be the ruler of the dark and the bad
Gm      Eb
  'Cause the devil's on my shoulder
        F
Where the angels used to be
        Cm       Gm Eb
And he's calling me the queen of mean (calling me, calling me)
N.c.
The queen of mean (calling me, calling me)
 
I want what I deserve
