Mean

[Verse]
Bm             A     
  You, with your words
                 G
like knives and swords

And weapons that you use against me
Bm        A       
  You, have knocked
           G
me off my feet again

Got me feelin' like a nothin'
Bm             A          
  You, with your voice like
            G
nails on a chalk board

Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Bm   A                     G
You, pickin' on the weaker man


[Pre-Chorus]
A
 Well you can take me down
D               G      A
 with just one single blow
       G~  
But you don't know,

what you don't know...


[Chorus]
D       A       Bm     
  Someday I'll be livin'
              G
in a big ol' city
    D          A    
  And all you're ever
             G
gonna be is mean
D       A       Bm         
  Someday I'll be big enough
              G
so you can't hit me
    D          A    
  And all you're ever
             F......
gonna be is mean
  ......           D         A
Why you gotta be so mean?


[Verse]
Bm             A  
You, with your swithching

sides and
     G  
Your wild fire lies

and your humiliation
Bm        A       
  You, have pointed
        G
out my flaws again

As if I don't already see them
Bm          A
I walk with my head down
          G
Tryin' to block you out

'Cause I never impress you
Bm     A           G
I just wanna feel okay again


[Pre-Chorus]
A
I bet you got pushed around
D           G        A
Somebody made you cold
A  
But the cycle ends

right now 'cause
G
You can't lead me down that road
        G  
And you don't know

what you don't know


[Chorus]
D       A       Bm    
  Someday I'll be livin
               G
in a big ol' city
    D          A    
  And all you're ever
             G
gonna be is mean
D       A       Bm         
  Someday I'll be big enough
              G
so you can't hit me
    D          A    
  And all you're ever
             G
gonna be is mean
                   D       D~   A     G
Why you gotta be so mean?


[Bridge]
          A  
And I can see you years

from now in a bar
D               G            A
 Talkin' over a football game
A
With that same big loud opinion
D            G        A
But no one's listening
A
Washed up and ranting about the
D~         A~       G~
Same old   bitter   things
A                                 D  
  Drunk and grumblin' all about how I
  A     G
can't sing
                  D    A  Bm
But all you are is mean
G              D          
  All you are is mean...and
   A          Bm
a liar...and pathetic
    G                 D     
  And alone in life and mean,
     A         Bm        G
and mean, and mean, and mean


[Chorus]
D       A       Bm  
  But someday I'll be
                 G
livin in a big ol' city
    D          A                G      
  And all you're ever gonna be is mean,
  G
yeah--ah
D       A       Bm         
  Someday I'll be big enough
              G
so you can't hit me
    D          A    
  And all you're ever
             G
gonna be is mean
G                   D
Why you gotta be so...Someday
A       Bm                 
  I'll be livin in a big ol'
  G
city (why ya gotta be so mean)
    D          A             
  And all you're ever gonna be
    G
is mean (why ya gotta be so mean)
D       A       Bm                
  Someday I'll be big enough so you
       G
can't hit me (why ya gotta be so mean)
    D     A         
  And all you're ever
        G~
gonna be is mean
                   D~
Why you gotta be so mean?
