Tom: Em
Em C D Am
[Opening Monologue]
Em C
I'm so tired of pretending
D Am
Where's my happy ending
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Bridge 1]
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)
[Bridge 2]
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.)
[Chorus]
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
