[Verse 1] E B You, with your words like knives, Dmaj7 A And swords and weapons that you use against me. E B Dmaj7 You, have knocked me off my feet again, A Got me feeling like a nothing. E B Dmaj7 A You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board, calling me out when I'm wounded. E B Dmaj7 A You, picking on the weaker man.
B E Well you can take me down, A B With just one single blow~ [Pre-Chorus] A But you don't know, what you don't know! [Chorus] E B Dmaj7 A Someday, I'll be, living in a big ol' city, E B A And all you're ever gonna be is mean. E B Dmaj7 A Someday, I'll be, big enough so you can't hit me, E B A And all you're ever gonna be is mean. E Why you gotta be so mean? [Verse 2] E B You, with your switching sides, Dmaj7 A And your wildfire lies, and your humiliation. E B Dmaj7 You, have pointed out my flaws again. A As if I don't already see them. E B I walk with my head down, Dmaj7 A Trying to block you out, cause I'll never impress you. C#m B A I just want to feel okay again. B I bet you got pushed around E A B Somebody made you cold. B But the cycle ends right now. A Because you can't lead me down that road. [Pre-Chorus] A And you don't know, what you don't know. [Chorus] E B Dmaj7 A Someday, I'll be, living in a big ol' city, E B A And all you're ever gonna be is mean. E B Dmaj7 A Someday, I'll be, big enough so you can't hit me, E B A And all you're ever gonna be is mean. E Why you gotta be so mean? [Bridge] B And I can see you years from now, in a bar, E A B Talking over a football game. B With that same big loud opinion, E A B But nobody's listening. B E B A B Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things. B E B A Drunk and grumbling on about, how I can't sing. E B But all you are is mean. A E All you are is mean, B And a liar, E And pathetic, A And alone in life. E B E A And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean! [Chorus] (Mute) Someday, I'll be, living in a big ol' city, (Mute) And all you're ever gonna be is mean. Yeah! E B Dmaj7 A Someday, I'll be, big enough so you can't hit me, E B A And all you're ever gonna be is mean. E Why you gotta be so... E B Dmaj7 A Someday, I'll be, living in a big ol' city, (Why you gotta be so...) E B A And all you're ever gonna be is mean. E (Why you gotta be so mean) E B Dmaj7 A Someday, I'll be, big enough so you can't hit me, (Why you gotta be so mean) E B A And all you're ever gonna be is mean. E
