Hi! So we're here again with the last single before the whole album comes out next week! *yay* Don't let the Asus4's scare you away, they're easy to play! A regular 'A' can be played though:) **UPDATE** The unnecessary D/F#'s are now gone. Happy? LOL!! **One millionth update! lol!** So I just saw the "Mean" music video and the beginning verse is the Bm instead of D so it's been switched:) The Bm/G in the chorus is now gone as well, it's just a G all the way through (which is easier too!) Taylor plays with no capo in the video and plays with a capo on 4 when playing live. IF you want to transpose this up or down 2 half steps, go for it:) just click the transpose button above and move or lose the capo! Also I'm keeping the Asus4 in the chorus, but just play an A if you want;) ***Please Rate*** Let me know what you think!:) EADGBe Bm [xx4432]-easier way Asus4 [x02230]-or a regular 'A' [x02220] can be played. *Also, I use a really thin pick for this song, it makes it sound more "Banjo-ish" lol:) Standard Tuning W/ Capo on 2 Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) GYou, (320003@1)with your words like knives and swords (G) And weapons that you use against me Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) GYou, (320003@1)have knocked me off my feet again (G) Got me feelin' like a nothin' Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) GYou, (320003@1)with your voice like nails on a chalk board (G) Callin' me out when I'm wounded Bm (x24432@1) A (x02220@1) GYou, (320003@1)pickin' on the weaker man A (x02220@1) D (xx0232@1) G (320003@1) A (x02220@1)Well you can take me down with just one single blow G-once (320003@1)But you don't know, what you don't know...
