Mean

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

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

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

Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Em   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       Em     
  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       Em         
  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]
Em             D  
You, with your swithching

sides and
     C  
Your wild fire lies

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

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

'Cause I never impress you
Em     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       Em    
  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       Em         
  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  Em
But all you are is mean
C              G          
  All you are is mean...and
   D          Em
a liar...and pathetic
    C                 G     
  And alone in life and mean,
     D         Em        C
and mean, and mean, and mean


[Chorus]
G       D       Em  
  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       Em         
  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       Em                 
  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
    C
is mean (why ya gotta be so mean)
G       D       Em                
  Someday I'll be big enough so you
       C
can't hit me (why ya gotta be so mean)
    G     D         
  And all you're ever
        C~

                   G~
Why you gotta be so mean?
