C#m B A
You, with your words like knives and swords
And weapons that you use against me
C#m B A
You, have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feelinʼ like a nothinʼ
C#m B A
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
Callinʼ me out when Iʼm wounded
C#m B A
You, pickinʼ on the weaker man
Pre-Chorus:B E A B
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
A
But you donʼt know, what you donʼt know...
Chorus:E B C#m A
Someday Iʼll be livinʼ in a big olʼ city
E B A
And all youʼre ever gonna be is mean
E B C#m A
Someday Iʼll be big enough so you canʼt hit me
E B A
And all youʼre ever gonna be is mean
E D E
Why you gotta be so mean?
C#m B
You, with your switching sides and
A
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
C#m B A
You, have pointed out my flaws again
N.C.
As if I donʼt already see them
C#m B
I walk with my head down
A
Tryinʼ to block you out
A
ʼCause I never impress you
C#m B A
I just wanna feel okay again
Pre-Chorus:B
I bet you got pushed around
E A B
Somebody made you cold
B
But the cycle ends right now ʼcause
A
You canʼt lead me down that road
A
And you donʼt know what you donʼt know
Chorus:E B C#m A
Someday Iʼll be livinʼ in a big olʼ city
E B A
And all youʼre ever gonna be is mean
E B C#m A
Someday Iʼll be big enough so you canʼt hit me
E B A
And all youʼre ever gonna be is mean
E D E B A
Why you gotta be so mean?
Bridge: B
And I can see you years from now in a bar
E A B
Talkinʼ over a football game
B
With that same big loud opinion
E A B
But nobodyʼs listening
B
Washed up and ranting about the
C#m B A
Same old bitter things
B
Drunk and grumblinʼ all about how
C#m B A
I canʼt sing
E B C#m
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
Chorus: E B C#m A
But someday Iʼll be livinʼ in a big olʼ city
E B A
And all youʼre ever gonna be is mean...yeahh
E B C#m A
Someday Iʼll be big enough so you canʼt hit me
E B A
And all youʼre ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so..
E B C#m A
Someday Iʼll be livinʼ in a big olʼ city
E B A
And all youʼre ever gonna be is mean
E B C#m A
Someday Iʼll be big enough so you canʼt hit me
E B A
And all youʼre ever gonna be is mean
E
Why you gotta be so mean
