Mean

C#m               B              

                    A

You, with your words like knives and
 swords and weapons that you use 
against me

C#m         B                    
You, have knocked me off my feet 
           A
again, got me feeling like I’m 
nothing

C#m              B               
You, with your voice like nails, 
                A
on a chalkboard calling me out when 
I’m wounded

C#m   B                          
You, picking on the weaker man
      A


[Pre-Chorus]

B                              
Well you can take me down , with 
           E                      
just one single blow
A        B


          A
What you don’t know, what you don’t 
know

[Chorus]

  E            B        C#m      
Someday I’ll be living in the big
                A
 ol city, and all you’re ever gonna 
be is mean

E              B       A
Someday I’ll be big enough so you 
can’t hit me, and all you’re ever 
gonna be is mean

N.C                                 
 E
Why you gotta be so mean?

[Verse 2]

C#m                B             
You, with your switching sides, 
                          A
and your wildfire lies and your 
humiliation

C#m         B                    
You, have pointed out my flaws 
   A
again as if I don’t already see them

C#m              B               
I walk with my head down, tryin 
                   A
to block you out cause I’ll never 
impress you

C#m    B                 A
I just want to feel okay again.


[Pre-Chorus]

B                   E     
I bet you got pushed around, 
                  A                
somebody made you cold
                B


A                             
Well that cycle ends right now, 
                  A
cause you can’t lead me down that 
road

A
And you don’t know, and you don’t 
know


[Chorus]
E              B       C#m      
Someday, I’ll be living in the 
               A
big ol city, and all you’re ever 
going to be is mean

E              B        C#m     
Someday, I’ll be big enough so 
                          A
you can’t hit me, and all you’re 
ever going to be is mean

N.C                          E
Why you gotta be so mean


D slide into E

[Chorus]

N.C
Someday I’ll be living in the big ol

Someday, I’ll be big enough so 
                          A
you can’t hear me, and all you’re 
ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so…someday i’ll be 
 E             B       C#m       
living in the big old city, and 
                A
all you’re ever gonna be is mean

E               B       C#m

[Bridge]

                     B             
And I can see you years from now in
                                 E 
 a bar, talking over a football 
                   A          B
game

B                                 
With that same big loud opinion, 
                        E          
and nobody’s listening
  A        B


B                                 
Washed up and ranting about the 
                   C#m        B   
same old bitter things
    A


B                                 
Drunk and rambling about how I 
           C#m  B    A
can’t sing

N.C                     E     B     
 C#m
But all you are is mean

A                    E           
All you are is mean, and a liar, 
      B             C#m
and pathetic, and alone in life

       A               E          
And mean, and mean, and mean, and 
       C#m          A
mean
