Capo 4
C G
You, with your words like knives
F
And swords and weapons that you use against me
C G F
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like a nothing
C G F
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
C G F
You picking on the weaker man
G F G
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
F
but you don't know, what you don't know...
C G Am F
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
C G F
And all you're ever going to be is mean
C G Am F
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
C G F
And all you're ever going to be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
C
C G
You, with your switching sides
F
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
C G F
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
C G
I walk with my head down
F
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
C G F
I just wanna feel okay again
G
I bet you got pushed around
F G
Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
F
Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know, what you don't know...

C G Am F
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
C G F
And all you're ever going to be is mean
C G Am F
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
C G F
And all you're ever going to be is mean
C
Why you gotta be so mean?
C F
G F
And I can see you years from now in a bar
G
Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
F
But nobody's listening
G Am G F
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
G Am G F
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
C
But all you are is mean
C G Am F
C
All you are is mean
G Am F
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
C G Am F
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
(No chords here, but you can run a pick over the strings)
But someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
And all you're ever going to be is mean, yeah yeah
C G Am F
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
C G F
And all you're ever going to be is mean
C
Why you gotta be so mean?
C G Am F
Someday I'll be living in a big ol' city
C G F
And all you're ever going to be is mean, why you gotta be so mean?
C G Am F
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
C G F
And all you're ever going to be is mean
C
Why you gotta be so mean?
