"Miss Independent" - Kelly Clarkson
(tabbed by Twisty (lamington_man@hotmail.com))
MAIN RIFF/VERSE (Bm)
|--------------(2)(2)(2)---|
|--------------(3)(3)(3)---|
|--------------(4)(4)(4)---|

|--------------------------|
VERSE:
Miss independent, miss self-sufficient,
miss keep your distance
Miss unafraid, miss out of my way,
Miss don't let a man interfere
Miss on her own, miss almost grown,
Miss never let a man help her off her throne
So by keeping her heart protected
She never ever feel rejected
Little miss apprehensive, said ooo, she feel in love
CHORUS:
Bm A
What is this feeling taking over
Bm A
Thinking no one can open the door
Bm A Bm A
Surprise, it's time, to feel what's real
Bm A
What happened to miss independence
Bm A
No longer needs to be defensive
Bm A G A
Good-bye old you, when love is true
VERSE:
Misguided heart, miss play it smart,
Miss if you want to use that line you better not start
But she's miscalculated, she didn't want to end up jaded
And this miss decided not to miss out on true love
So by changing a misconception,
she went in a new direction
And found inside she felt a connection, she fell in love
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Bm
When miss independent walked away,
G
No time for love that came her way
Bm
She looked in the mirror and thought today
A
What happened to miss no longer afraid
Bm
It took some time for her to see
G
How beautiful love could truly be
Bm
No more talk of why can't that be me
A
I'm so glade I have finally seen
CHORUS
end with MAIN RIFF

| this song is about being independent. i think it's about this girl who all along she's been alone and she's finally met the guy where's she's not alone. i don't know what y'all are saying when you say this is a sucky song. christina aguilera couldn't have pulled this song off. this song has kelly clarkson written all over | |

| I love this song because Kelly Clarkson's voice is truely shown what it's capable of in this song, and it's a unique song; no other song sounds like this one does now on the radio. | |

| This song is not about being "un-independent". It's about breaking away from being, for a lack of better words, a rock. For a long time she lived with a guarded heart and gave nobody a chance, but then she realized that she didn't want to be that way anymore. She wanted to experience love, she wanted to be happy. You can still be independent while in love, but you have to learn to trust and rely on someone, too. It's the kind of song we should pay attention to, being that we're all about guarded hearts and dark pasts these days. | |

| I do not know about you, but I am 20 and PROUD to play with silly string! Oh, and yes, this song is rather catchy. I hate to admit it, but I kind of like it. She can definitely sing. I did not know until reading these that Christina Aguilera was even considering singing this song. I do not think I would believe her if she sang it. It would just seem like she was saying what should be said to reach the crowd. Somehow Kelly Clarkson makes it feel more real. | |

| Oh my god, haha, when she's singing this song, she says "Miss Keep Your DistanT"hahaha I cracked up when I heard it. What a loser, she can't even say distance. That poor guy in the video, I feel so bad for his cute self... | |

| The meaning of the song is that some self-centered stuck up snob that made everyone believe she was like, miss anything and everything, and was making it great on her own, fell in love and now she looks like an idiot. That's my view. Personally, I hate the song. Very annoying. I'd rather hear Since You've Been Gone or Breakaway. Only songs I like by her. | |

| I didn't really like this song as I listened to it the first time, but I got the chorus stuck in my head for the rest of the day. It has a definite beat and Kelly has an amazing voice. This song is just catchy and now I listen to it all the time! | |

| I think Ms.Aguilera should have kept this song for herself because Kelly doesn't work it as much as Christina would have. I own Kelly's album, it's pretty decent, but I don't think she did much for this song. Have you heard her sing it live? It's not the best, but it's not the worst. I like the song though. :) | |

| I hate this song. And as for the video- Why is she wearing a scarf and sweater at a pool party? And fighting with silly string? I didn't know Kelly partied with eight-year-olds... | |

| I really love the beat of this song. In my opinion the lyrics are a little weak. Anyway I think that it means that she can do anything. | |

| i do believe she says distanCE.....just to clear that up. This is one of her earlier songs so give her a break people! she didnt write it! im sure if you were offered a song by miss Aguilera you wouldnt turn it down...unless you are COMPLETELY INSANE....*cough*....either way its still a good song...kelly just sings it better than Aguilera would anyways :D | |
