Verse:

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 chalk board
(G)
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Bm  A           G
You, pickin' on the weaker man

Pre-Chorus:

A            D        G   A
 Well you can take me down with just one single blow
  G -once
But you don't know, what you don't know...


Chorus:

D    Asus4  G
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
  D     Asus4      G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
D    Asus4  G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
  D     Asus4      G......Stop
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
 ......      D   C D -once
Why you gotta be so mean?


Verse:

Bm       A
You, with your switching sides and
   G
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
Bm    A       G
You, have pointed out my flaws again
    -stop
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


Pre-Chorus 2:

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


Chorus:

D    Asus4  G
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
  D     Asus4      G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
D    Asus4  G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
  D     Asus4      G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
          D   C D  A  G
Why you gotta be so mean?


Bridge:

     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 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 grumblin' all about how I can't sing
-no chord     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


Chorus:

(*Palm mute*)
  D*   Asus4* G*
But someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
  D*     Asus4*      G*   G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah--ah
D    Asus4  G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
  D     Asus4      G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
(G)          D
Why you gotta be so...Someday
Asus4  G
I'll be livin in a big ol' city (why ya gotta be so mean)
  D     Asus4      G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (why ya gotta be so mean)
D    Asus4  G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (why ya gotta be so mean)
  D* *once  Asus4*      G*
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
          D*
Why you gotta be so mean?
