Am  Fmaj7  Gsus4  G

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

G                           C               F      G
   Well you can take me down with just one single blow
    F (once)
But you don't know, what you don't know...


C       G        F                 
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city 
    C          G                 F
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
C       G        F                    
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
    C          G                 F
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
F(once)              C       Bb  C  C/B
Why you gotta be so mean?


Am             G                                                  
You, with your swithching sides and
     F                       
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
Am         G              F                                                               
You, have pointed out my flaws again
         F (once)                                                 
As if I don't already see them
Am          G                                          
I walk with my head down
          F                                                     
Tryin' to block you out 'cause I never impress you
Am      G           F                                                               
I just wanna feel okay again

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


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

           G
And I can see you years from now in a bar
C                 F           G
 Talkin' over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
C             F        G
But no one's listening
Washed up and ranting about the 
F* *once   G*       F (fingerpicking)     
Same old   bitter   things
G                                 F*  G*    F*  
Drunk and grumblin' all about how I  can't sing
                    C    G  Am  
But all you are is mean
F              C           G          Am
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic
    F                  C         G         Am        F
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean


*Palm mute*
But someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city 
                                         F

C       G        F                    
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
    C          G                 F
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
