Intro: 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 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean,  yeah 
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 
                       C 
Why you gotta be so...Someday 
G         F                
I'll be livin in a big ol' city (why ya gotta be so mean) 
    C          G                 F 
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (why ya gotta be so mean) 
C       G         F                
Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city (why ya gotta be so mean) 
    C   once   G                 F  
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
                      C  
Why you gotta be so  mean?
