Mean (video)

D A G

1. You, with your words like knives and swords

and weapons that you use against me !

D A G

You, have knocked me off my feet again,

got me feelin' like a nothin' !

Bm A G

You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board,

callin' me out when I'm wounded,

Bm A G

you, pickin' on the weaker man !

A - D G A

Well, you can take me down with just one single blow,

G - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

but you don't know, what you don't know.

D A Em G

Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city,

D A G

and all you're ever gonna be is mean.

D A Em 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? + C - D

Bm A

2. You, with your switching sides and

G

your wild fire 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

tryin' to block you out 'cause I never impress you,

Bm A G

I just wanna feel okay again.

A - D G A

I bet you got pushed around, somebody made you cold,

but the cycle ends right now,

G

'cause you can't lead me down that road,

G - - - - - - -

and you don't know what you don't know.

+ CHORUS + C - D - G ~ ~

A

+ And I can see you years from now in a bar,

G A

talkin' over a football game with that same big loud opinion,

- G A

but nobody is listening.

A Bm A G

Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things,

A Bm A G

drunk and rumblin' all about how I can't sing.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - D - A - Bm

But all you are is mean.

G D A Bm

All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic,

G D A Bm G

and alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean.

+ CHORUS (leave out the last word) + CHORUS
