Mean

[Verse]
Fm             D#     
  You, with your words
                 C#
like knives and swords

And weapons that you use against me
Fm        D#       
  You, have knocked
           C#
me off my feet again

Got me feelin' like a nothin'
Fm             D#          
  You, with your voice like
            C#
nails on a chalk board

Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Fm   D#                     C#
You, pickin' on the weaker man


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

what you don't know...


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


[Verse]
Fm             D#  
You, with your swithching

sides and
     C#  
Your wild fire lies

and your humiliation
Fm        D#       
  You, have pointed
        C#
out my flaws again

As if I don't already see them
Fm          D#
I walk with my head down
          C#
Tryin' to block you out

'Cause I never impress you
Fm     D#           C#
I just wanna feel okay again


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

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

what you don't know


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


[Bridge]
          D#  
And I can see you years

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


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

G#       D#       Fm                
  Someday I'll be big enough so you
       C#
