Mean chords by Taylor Swift

Don’t let
the A4’s and the D/F# scare you away, they’re easy to play!
A regular A can be played for the A4, but I just liked the
sound of the A4 better. I’m not sure about the G/E
in the chorus.

      A
And I can’t see you years from now in a bar
D       G  D/F# A
Talkin’ over a football game
(A)
With that same big loud opinion
D      G D/F# A
But no one’s listening
(A)
Washed up and ranting about the
D* *once  A*    G*
same old  bitter  things
A                D* A*  G*
Drunk and rumblin’ all about how I can’t sing
n.c.       D   Asus4 G
But all you are is mean
(G)      D      Asus4   D
All you are is mean...and a liar...and pathetic
  G         D     Asus4   D     G
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean


  D    Asus4  G/E        D/F#
But someday I’ll be livin in a big ol’ city
  D     Asus4      G
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean, yeah--ah
