Intro:
[Am] [Fmaj7] [Gsus4] [G]
[Am]You, with your [G]words like knives [F]and swords
And weapons that you use against me
[Am]You, have [G]knocked me off my [F]feet again
Got me feeling like I'm nothing.
[Am]You, with your [G]voice like nails on a [F]chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded.
[Am]You, [G]pickin' on the weaker [F]man.
[G] Well you can take me [C]down
With just one [F]single [G]blow.
But[F]you don't know, what you don't know.
[C]Someday, [G]I'll be [F]living in a big old city
And [C]all you're [G]ever gonna be is [F]mean.
[C]Someday, [G]I'll be [F]big enough so you can't hit me
And [C]all you're [G]ever gonna be is [F]mean.
[F]
Why you gotta be so [C]mean? [Bb] [C] [C/B]
[Am]You, with your [G]switching sides
And your [F]wildfire lies and your humiliation
[Am]You, have [G]pointed out my [F]flaws again
As if I [F]don't already see them.
[Am]I walk with [G]my head down
Trying to [F]block you out cause I'll never impress you
[Am]I just [G]wanna feel [F]okay again.
[G] I bet you got pushed around
[C]Somebody [F]made you [G]cold
But the cycle ends right now cause
[F]You can't lead me down that road,
And you don't know, what [F]you don't know
[C]Someday, [G]I'll be, [F]living in a big old city
And [C]all you're [G]ever gonna be is [F]mean.
[C]Someday, [G]I'll be [F]big enough so you can't hit me
And [C]all you're [G]ever gonna be is [F]mean.
[F]Why you gotta be so [C]mean?
And I can [G]see you years from now in a bar
[C] Talking over a [F]football game [G]
With that same big loud opinion [C]but
[F]Nobody's listening [G]
Washed up and ranting about the
(Fingerpick)
[F]same old [G]bitter [F]things
[G]Drunk and grumbling on about how [F]I [G]can't [F]sing.
But all you are is [C]mean [G] [Am]
[F]All you are is [C]mean
[G]And a liar, and [Am]pathetic, and [F]alone in life, and [C]mean
And [G]mean, and [Am]mean, and [F]mean
