Mean (Taylor's Version) chords by Taylor Swift

Guitar chords with lyrics

🎸 Verse 1:
G#m              B
You, with your words like knives
      G
And swords and weapons that you use against me
G#m        B                G
You have knocked me off my feet again

Got me feelin' like a nothing
G#m              B                      G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

Calling me out when I'm wounded
G#m    B                    G
You, pickin' on the weaker man

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
B                        G
  Well, you can take me down
                G      B
With just one single blow
     G
But you don't know what you don't know

🎸 Chorus:
 G         B      G#m                 G
Someday, I'll be livin' in a big ole city
     G          B                 G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
 G        B      G#m                      G
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
     G          B                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
                     G
Why you gotta be so mean?

🎸 Interlude:
G   C   G


🎸 Verse 2:
G#m               B
You, with your switching sides
          G
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
G#m        B              G
You have pointed out my flaws again

As if I don't already see them
G#m           B                         G
  I walk with my head down, trying to block you out

'Cause I'll never impress you
G#m     B           G
I just wanna feel okay again

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
B                         G
  I bet you got pushed around
          G        B
Somebody made you cold

But the cycle ends right now
             G
'Cause you can't lead me down that road

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

🎸 Chorus:
 G         B      G#m                 G
Someday, I'll be livin' in a big ole city
     G          B                 G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
 G        B      G#m                      G
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
     G          B                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
                     G
Why you gotta be so mean?

🎸 Interlude:
G   C   G


🎸 Instrumental:
G   B   G


🎸 Bridge:
            B
And I can see you years from now in a bar
G                  G       B
  Talking over a football game
                                        G        G    B
With that same big, loud opinion, but nobody's listening
                                 G#m      B       G
Washed up and ranting about the same ole bitter things
  B                             G#m  B     G
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
                    G
But all you are is mean

🎸 Interlude:
G   B   G#m


Buildup:
 G               G
All you are is mean
        B           G#m
And a liar, and pathetic
      G                 G
And alone in life, and mean
     B         G#m       G
And mean, and mean, and mean

🎸 Chorus:
 G         B      G#m                 G
Someday, I'll be livin' in a big ole city
     G          B                 G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
 G        B      G#m                      G
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
     G          B                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

Why you gotta be so mean?
 G         B      G#m                 G
Someday, I'll be livin' in a big ole city

(Why you gotta be so mean)
     G          B                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

(Why you gotta be so mean)
 G         B     G#m                      G
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

(Why you gotta be so mean)
     G           B                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
                      G
Why you gotta be so mean?
