Tom: D

G                 A7      D7
Sometime my baby locks me out
G                 A7          D7
Stomps her feet, screams and shouts
Em     Hm7          C    G
I know what that’s all about
A7                 D7      G      D7
My baby’s just as mean as me

[Verse 2]
G                       A7       D7
Sometimes my man don’t treat me right
G                 A7        D7
Shame the way we fuss and fight
Em            Hm7      C     G
But I give as good as get alright
A7                 D7      G      
My baby’s just as mean as me

[Bridge 1]
Cm
He’s kinda loud and rough
G
Drinks wine and all that stuff
A7                                  D7
Sometimes I’ve had enough, then he smiles
      D#7           D7         G
And I reckon I can stay for a while

[Verse 3]
G              A7      D7
They say that love is blind
G               A7         D7
Especially the passionate kind
Em       Hm7       C   G
I don’t have to apologize
A7                 D7     G      D7
My baby’s just as mean as me

[Solo]

[Bridge 2]
Cm
Hard times they come and go
G
She’s mine and I’m her beau
A7                                    D7
If we find some scars to show, never mind
             D#7         D7          G
'Cause they ain't no different than mind

[Verse 4]
G                        A       D7
You heard them say that love is blind
G               A7         D7
Especially the passionate kind
Em      Hm7     C     G
I don’t have to apologize
A7                D7       G
My baby’s just as mean as me
A7                D7       G
My baby’s just as mean as me
