Mean

Bm             A                     G
You, with your words like knives and swords
G
And weapons that you use against me
Bm        A                 G
You, have knocked me off my feet again
G
Got me feelin' like a nothin'
Bm             A                     G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
G
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Bm   A                     G
You, pickin' on the weaker man

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

D       A4      G
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
    D          A4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
D       A4   G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    D          A4            G......
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
  ......           D         D
Why you gotta be so mean?

Bm             A
You, with your switching sides and
     G
Your wildfire lies and your humiliation
Bm        A              G
You, have pointed 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
         G
'Cause I never impress you
Bm     A           G
I just wanna feel okay again

A
I bet you got pushed around
D           G        A
Somebody made you cold
A
But the cycle ends right now 'cause
G                     A
You can't lead me down that road
       (G)
And you don't know what you don't know

D       A4      G
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
    D          A4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
D       A4   G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    D          A4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
                   D       D -once  A4   G
Why you gotta be so mean?

          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 nobody´s listening
A
Washed up and ranting about the
D          A        G
Same old   bitter   things
A                                 D  A     G
Drunk and grumblin' all about how I  can't sing
                  D    A  Bm
But all you are is mean
G              D            A          Bm
All you are is mean...and a liar...and pathetic
    G                 D         A         Bm        G
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

    D       A4      G
But someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
    D          A4            G      G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean,  yeah--ah
D       A4   G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    D          A4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
G                   D
