Verse 1
C#5 B5 A5
You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
C#5 B5 A5
You, have knocked me off my feet again got me feeling like I'm nothing

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded
C#5 B5 A5
You, pickin' on the weaker man

You, with your switching sides and your walk-by lies and your humiliation

I just wanna feel okay again

And you don't know what you don't know

Bridge
B5 A5
B5 C#5 A5
And I can see you years from now in a bar, talking over a football game
B5 C#5 A5 
With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening
B5 C#5                                  C#5 B5 A5
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
B5 C#5 C#5 B5 A5
Drunk and rambling on about how I can't sing

Bridge 2
E5  B5 C#5 A5
But all you are is mean
E5  B5 C#5 A5
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic and a f***ing whore
E5  B5 C#5 A5 
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
 
Chorus 2
(Mute the strings, but continue with the strumming pattern) 
But someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah
