Capo 3
Bm                     A
You, with your words like knives
      G
And swords and weapons that you use against me,
Bm          A               G
You, have knocked me off my feet again,

Got me feeling like I’m nothing.
Bm               A                      G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

Calling me out when I’m wounded.
Bm      A              G
You, pickin’ on the weaker man.

A
Well you can take me down,
D               G     A
With just one single blow.
     Bm                   D
But you don’t know, what you don’t know,

[CHORUS]

D         A        G
Someday, I’ll be living in a big old city,
     D          A               G
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
D         A       G
Someday, I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me,
     D          A                G
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean.
                     D
Why you gotta be so mean?

[Verse 2]

Bm                A
You, with your switching sides,
          G
And your walk by lies and your humiliation
Bm         A               G
You, have pointed out my flaws again,

As if I don’t already see them.
Bm          A
I walk with my head down,
            G
Trying to block you out cause I’ll never impress you
Bm      A          G
I just wanna feel okay again.

A
I bet you got pushed around,
D         G
Somebody made you cold,
A
But the cycle ends right now,
       G
You can’t lead me down that road,

You don’t know, what you don’t know

[Repeat Chorus]

G

           A
And I can see you years from now in a bar,
D                G
Talking over a football game,
A
With that same big loud opinion but,
D                     G
Nobody’s  listening,
A                                Bm       A       G
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things,
A                                Bm       G
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can’t sing.

                 D       A       Bm
But all you are is mean,
G              D
All you are is mean.
       A           Bm           G
And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life,
     D         C         Bm        G
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean

[repeat chorus a couple times] end on D
