E MajorE 
BB
You, with your words like knives,
Dmaj7Dmaj7 
A augmentedA
And swords and weapons that you use against me.
E MajorE BB Dmaj7Dmaj7
You, have knocked me off my feet again,
A augmentedA
Got me feeling like a nothing.
E MajorE BB Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board, calling me out when I'm wounded.
E MajorE BB Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
You, picking on the weaker man.
BB E MajorE
Well you can take me down,
A augmentedA BB
With just one single blow~
[Pre-Chorus]
A augmentedA
But you don't know, what you don't know!

E MajorE BB Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
Someday, I'll be, living in a big ol' city,
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
E MajorE BB Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
Someday, I'll be, big enough so you can't hit me,
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
E MajorE
Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides,
Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
And your wildfire lies, and your humiliation.

You, have pointed out my flaws again.
A augmentedA
As if I don't already see them.

I walk with my head down,
Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
Trying to block you out, cause I'll never impress you.
C# minorC#m BB A augmentedA
I just want to feel okay again.
BB
I bet you got pushed around
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
Somebody made you cold.

But the cycle ends right now.
A augmentedA
Because you can't lead me down that road.
[Pre-Chorus]
A augmentedA
And you don't know, what you don't know.
[Chorus]
E MajorE BB Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
Someday, I'll be, living in a big ol' city,
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
E MajorE BB Dmaj7Dmaj7 A augmentedA
Someday, I'll be, big enough so you can't hit me,
E MajorE BB A augmentedA
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.
E MajorE
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Bridge]
BB
And I can see you years from now, in a bar,
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
Talking over a football game.
BB
With that same big loud opinion,
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
But nobody's listening.
BB E MajorE BB A augmentedA BB
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things.
BB E MajorE BB A augmentedA
Drunk and grumbling on about, how I can't sing.

But all you are is mean.
A augmentedA E MajorE
All you are is mean,

And a liar,

And pathetic,

And alone in life.

And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean!
