Standard (Capo 6)
BmAsusG
You with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
BmAsusG
You, have knocked me off my feet again. Got me feelin' like a nothing
BmAsusG
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board callin' me out when I'm wounded
BmAsusG
You, pickin' on the weaker man
AsusDGAsus
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
G
but you don't know, what you don't know
DABmGDAG
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city and all you're ever gonna be is mean
DABmG
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me.
DAGD
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.. Why you gotta be so mean?
Break: C D
BmAsusG
You, with your swithching sides and your wild fire lies and your humiliation
BmAsusGG
You, have pointed out my flaws again. As if I don't already see them
BmAsusG
I walk with my head down. Trying to block you out 'Cause I never impress you
BmAsusG
I just wanna feel okay again
AsusDGAsus
I bet you got pushed around. Somebody.... made you.... cold
G
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
GG
and you don't know what you don't know
DABmGDAG
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city and all you're ever gonna be is mean

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me.

AsusDG
And I can see you years from now in a bar. Talking over a football game
AsusDG
With that same big loud opinion, but nobody's is listening
AsusBmAsusG
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
AsusBmAsusG
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
DAsuGm
But all you are is mean
DAsuBmGD
All you are is mean and alone in life and mean,
AsusBmG
and mean and mean and mean
