Mean (Live)(Chords)

	        

Intro:
 
C#m           B 
You with your words  
                A 
like knives and swords 
And weapons that  
you use against me  
C#m      B 
You have knocked me  
       A 
off my feet again 

Got me feeling like a nothing 
C#m           B 
You with your voice like  
           A 
nails on a chalk board 
Callin me out when I'm wounded 
C#m B              A 
You picking on the weaker man 


Refrain 1: 

B 
  Well you can take me down  
E               A      B 
  with just one single blow 
    A 
But you don't know 
what you don't know 


Chorus 1:
 
E       B       C#m 
Someday I'll be living  
             A 
in a big old city  
    E          B 
And all you're ever  
            A 
gonna be is mean 
E       B       C#m 
Someday I'll be big  
                    A 
enough so you can't hit me  
    E          B 
And all you're ever  
            A 
gonna be is mean 
                    E D E B/Eb 
Why you gotta be so mean? 


Verse 2:
 
C#m                                 
You with your  
B 
switching sides and 
     A 
Your wild fire lies  
and your humiliation 
C#m      B              A                                                     
You have pointed out my flaws again 
                               
As if I don't already see them 
C#m            B                          
   I walk with my head down 
          A                                  
trying to block you out  
cause I never impress you 
C#m    B           A                                                          
I just wanna feel okay again 


Refrain 2:
 
B                                     
  I bet you got pushed around 
E          A        B                                      
  Somebody made you cold 
   
But the cycle ends right now cause 
    A 
You can't lead me down that road 
                                                                
And you don't know what you don't know 


Chorus 2:
 
E       B       C#m 
Someday I'll be living  
             A 
in a big old city  
    E          B 
And all you're ever  
            A 
gonna be is mean 
E       B       C#m 
Someday I'll be big  
                    A 
enough so you can't hit me  
    E          B 
And all you're ever  
            A 
gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean? 


Guitar Solo: A B A  


Bridge:
 
            B 
And I can't see you years  
from now in a bar 
E                A        B 
  Talking over a football game 
With that same big loud opinion 
   E         A    B 
But no one's listening 
Washed up and ranting about the  
C#m B A  
same old  bitter  things 
B 
Drunk and grumbling all  
          C#m B     A 
about how I   can't sing 
                   E   B C#m 
But all you are is mean 
A              E 
All you are is mean and a 
B          C#m 
liar and pathetic 
     A                E 
And alone in life and mean 
    B        C#m      A 
and mean and mean and mean 


Chorus 3: 

E 
Someday I'll be living  
in a big old city  
And all you're ever  
gonna be is mean yeah 
E       B       C#m 
Someday I'll be big  
                    A 
enough so you can't hit me  
    E          B 
And all you're ever  
            A 
gonna be is mean 
Why you gotta be so mean? 


Chorus 4: 

E       B       C#m 
Someday I'll be living  
             A 
in a big old city  
    E          B 
And all you're ever  
            A 
gonna be is mean 
E       B       C#m 
Someday I'll be big  
                    A 
enough so you can't hit me  
    E    B 
And all you're ever  
            A 
gonna be is mean 
                    E 
Why you gotta be so mean?
