[Verse 1]
C#m BYou, with your words like knives
AAnd swords and weapons that you use against me
C#m B AYou have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feelin' like a nothing
C#m B AYou, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
C#m B AYou, pickin' on the weaker man
[Pre-Chorus]
B E..Well, you can take me down
A BWith just one single blow
ABut you don't know what you don't know
[Chorus]
E B C#m ASomeday, I'll be livin' in a big ole city
E B AAnd all you're ever gonna be is mean
E B C#m ASomeday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
E B AAnd all you're ever gonna be is mean
EWhy you gotta be so mean?
[Interlude]
E D E.........
[Verse 2]
C#m BYou, with your switching sides
AAnd your wildfire lies and your humiliation
C#m B AYou have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
C#m B A..I walk with my head down, trying to block you out
'Cause I'll never impress you
C#m B AI just wanna feel okay again
[Pre-Chorus]
B E..I bet you got pushed around
A BSomebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
A'Cause you can't lead me down that road
And you don't know what you don't know
[Chorus]
E B C#m ASomeday, I'll be livin' in a big ole city
E B AAnd all you're ever gonna be is mean
E B C#m ASomeday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
E B AAnd all you're ever gonna be is mean
EWhy you gotta be so mean?
[Interlude]
E D E.........
[Instrumental]
A B A.........
[Bridge]
BAnd I can see you years from now in a bar
E A B..Talking over a football game
E A BWith that same big, loud opinion, but nobody's listening
C#m B AWashed up and ranting about the same ole bitter things
B C#m B ADrunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
EBut all you are is mean
[Interlude]
E B C#m...........
[Buildup]
A EAll you are is mean
B C#mAnd a liar, and pathetic
A EAnd alone in life, and mean
B C#m AAnd mean, and mean, and mean
[Chorus]
E B C#m ASomeday, I'll be livin' in a big ole city
E B AAnd all you're ever gonna be is mean
E B C#m ASomeday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
E B AAnd all you're ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?
E B C#m ASomeday, I'll be livin' in a big ole city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
E B AAnd all you're ever gonna be is mean
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
E B C#m ASomeday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
E B AAnd all you're ever gonna be is mean
EWhy you gotta be so mean?
