Mean chords by Taylor Swift

Don’t let
the A4’s and the D/F# scare you away, they’re easy to play!
A regular A can be played for the A4, but I just liked the
sound of the A4 better.  I’m not sure about the G/E
in the chorus.

D         Asus4                      G
You, with your words like knives and swords
                     D/F#
And weapons that you use against me
D         Asus4             G
You, have knocked me off my feet again
       D/F#
Got me feelin’ like a nothin’
D              Asus4                 G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
           D/F#
Callin’ me out when I’m wounded
D    Asus4                 G
You, pickin’ on the weaker man

     A                  D               G D/F# A
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
    G -once
But you don’t know, what you don’t know...



D       Asus4   G/E                D/F#

Bm            A
You, with your swithching sides and
     G                       D/F#
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
Bm        A              G
You, have pointed out my flaws again
      (stop)n.C.
As if I don’t already see them
Bm          A
I walk with my head down
          G
tryin’ to block you out
         D/F#
’cause I never impress you
Bm     A           G    D/F#
I just wanna feel okay again

A
I bet you got pushed around
D        G    D/F# A
Somebody made you  cold
(A)
But the cycle ends right now ’cause
G
You can’t lead me down that road

And you don’t know what   you don’t know

Why you gotta be so mean?


            A
And I can’t see you years from now in a bar
D              G   D/F# A
Talkin’ over a football game
(A)
With that same big loud opinion
D            G D/F# A
But no one’s listening
(A)
Washed up and ranting about the
D* *once   A*       G*
same old   bitter   things
A                                D* A*    G*
Drunk and rumblin’ all about how I  can’t sing
n.c.              D     Asus4 G
But all you are is mean
(G)            D            Asus4      D
All you are is mean...and a liar...and pathetic
    G                 D         Asus4     D         G
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean


    D       Asus4   G/E                D/F#
But someday I’ll be livin in a big ol’ city
    D          Asus4            G
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean,  yeah--ah
D       Asus4   G/E                     D/F#
Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
    D          Asus4            G
And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
(G)                   D
Why you gotta be so...Someday
