Mean

Am             G                     F
You, with your words like knives and swords
(F)
And weapons that you use against me
Am        G                 F
You, have knocked me off my feet again
(F)
Got me feelin' like a nothin'
Am             G                     F
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
(F)
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
But you don't know, what you don't know...

C       Gsus4   F
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
    C          Gsus4            F
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
C       Gsus4   F
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    C          Gsus4            G......
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
  ......           C         C
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

As if I don't already see them
Am          G
I walk with my head down
          F
Tryin' to block you out
         F
'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
(G)
But the cycle ends right now 'cause
F
You can't lead me down that road
                   F
And you don't know what you don't know

C       Gsus4   F
Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city
    C          Gsus4            F
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
C       Gsus4   F
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    C          Gsus4            F
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
                   C       C -once  Gsus4   F
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
(G)
With that same big loud opinion
C            F        G
But no one's listening
(G)
Washed up and ranting about the
C          G        F
Same old   bitter   things
G                                 C  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

    C       Gsus4   F
But someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city
    C          Gsus4            F      F

And all you're ever gonna be is mean
