Song :
A
C#m B A
You, with your words like knives and swords
A
And weapons that you use against me
C#m B A
You, have knocked me off my feet again
A
Got me feelin' like a nothin'
C#m B A
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
A
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
C#m B A
You, pickin' on the weaker man
B E A B
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
A
But you don't know, what you don't know...
E Bsus A
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
E Bsus A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
E Bsus A
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
E Bsus4 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
E E
Why you gotta be so mean?
C#m B
You, with your swithching sides and
A
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
C#m B A
You, have pointed out my flaws again
-stop
As if I don't already see them
C#m B
I walk with my head down
A
Tryin' to block you out
A
'Cause I never impress you
C#m B A
I just wanna feel okay again
B
I bet you got pushed around
E A B
Somebody made you cold
B
But the cycle ends right now 'cause
A
You can't lead me down that road
A
And you don't know what you don't know
E Bsus A
Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city
E Bsus A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
E Bsus A
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
E Bsus A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
E E Bsus A
Why you gotta be so mean?
B
And I can see you years from now in a bar
E A B
Talkin' over a football game
B
With that same big loud opinion
E A B
But no one's listening
B
Washed up and ranting about the
E B A
Same old bitter things
B E B A
Drunk and grumblin' all about how I can't sing
-no chord D A Bm
But all you are is mean
A E B C#m
All you are is mean...and a liar...and pathetic
A E B C#m A
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
Palm mute
E Bsus A
But someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city
E Bsus A A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah--ah
E Bsus A
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
E Bsus A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
A E
Why you gotta be so...Someday
Bsus A
I'll be livin in a big ol' city why ya gotta be so mean
E Bsus A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean why ya gotta be so mean
E Bsus A
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me why ya gotta be so mean
E Bsus4 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
E
Why you gotta be so mean?
