Chords for Elle King - "I Told You I Was Mean" (Live on eTown)

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ Hi, [Abm] I'm Elle King.
And I'm Dash Henry-Smith.
And we're backstage at E-Town.
This is our
first time here and I really hope it's not our last because this is, I mean, the whole
day, I mean, Nick gave us a tour and meeting everything, the building is new and it's unbelievably
special and beautiful and like totally, _ like ecologically, what is it, environmentally
friendly?
Don't make me sound stupid.
It's totally like environmentally friendly and
it's beautiful and like everybody here has such a great heart and like they're all, you
know, either a musician or a total music lover and has been nothing but, you know, warm to
us and what a treat.
We call it one of the better days this summer.
One of the best days.
Yeah, we played a lot of shows this summer and this was really fun.
Like he just said
to me before the camera came in, like, my face hurts from smiling. _
