[C#m]You, with your[B]words like knives

And[A]swords and weapons that you use against me

[C#m]You have[B]knocked me off my[A]feet again

[A]Got me feeling like I'm nothing

[C#m]You, with your[B]voice like nails on a[A]chalkboard

[A]Calling me out when I'm wounded

[C#m]You[B]picking on the weaker[A]man

 

[B]You can take me down[E]with just one[A]single[B]blow

But[A]you don't know, what you don't know...

 

[E]Someday[B]I'll be[A]living in a big ol' city

And[E]all you're[B]ever gonna be is[A]mean

[E]Someday[B]I'll be[A]big enough so you can't[A]hit me

And[E]all you're[B]ever gonna be is[A]mean

Why you gotta be so[E]mean?[D]　[E]　[G#m]

 

[C#m]You, with your[B]switching sides

And[A]your wildfire lies and your humiliation

[C#m]You have[B]pointed out my flaws[A]again

[A]As if I don't already see them

[C#m]I walk with[B]my head down

Trying[A]to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you

[C#m]I just[B]wanna feel okay[A]again

 

[Bsus4]I bet you got pushed around

[E]Somebody[A]made you cold

[Bsus4]But the cycle ends right now

'Cause[A]you can't lead me down that road

[A]And you don't know, what you don't know...

 

[E]Someday[B]I'll be[A]living in a big ol' city

And[E]all you're[B]ever gonna be is[A]mean

[E]Someday[B]I'll be[A]big enough so you can't[A]hit me

And[E]all you're[B]ever gonna be is[A]mean

Why you gotta be so[E]mean?

[D]　[E]　[B]　[A]　[B]　[A]

 

And I can[B]see you years from now in a bar

[E]Talking over a[A]football game

[B]With that same big loud opinion

But[E]nobody's[A]listening

[B]Washed up and ranting about the[C#m]same old[B]bitter[A]things

[B]Drunk and grumbling on about how[A]I　[B]can't[A]sing

[A]But all you are is[E]mean[B]　[C#m]

 

[A]All you are is[E]mean

And a[B]liar, and pa[C#m]thetic, and al[A]one in life

And[E]mean, and[B]mean, and[C#m]mean, and[A]mean

 

But[E]someday[B]I'll be[A]living in a big ol'[A]city

And[E]all you're[B]ever gonna be is[A]mean,[B]yeah

[E]Someday[B]I'll be[A]big enough so you can't[A]hit me

And[E]all you're[B]ever gonna be is[A]mean

[A]Why you gotta be so?..

 

[E]Someday[B]I'll be[A]living in a big ol'[A]city (Why you gotta be so?..)

And[E]all you're[B]ever gonna be is[A]mean (Why you gotta be so?..)

[E]Someday[B]I'll be[A]big enough so you can't[A]hit me (Why you gotta be so?..)

And[E]all you're[B]ever gonna be is[A]mean

Why you gotta be so[E] mean?
