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