Bm             A                     G
You, with your words like knives and swords
(G)
And weapons that you use against me 
Bm        A                 G
You, have knocked me off my feet again
(G)
Got me feelin' like a nothin'
Bm             A                     G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
(G)
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       Bm                  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       Bm                      G 
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
    D          A                G......Stop
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
  ......           D      C* hold.. D  
Why you gotta be so mean?


Bm             A 
You, with your switching sides and
     G                       
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
Bm        A              G  
You, have pointed out my flaws again
       -stop  
As if I don't already see them
Bm          A  
I walk with my head down
          G  
Tryin' to block you out 
         G
'Cause I never impress you
Bm     A           G 
I just wanna feel okay again


A 
I bet you got pushed around
D        G        A 
Somebody made you cold
(A)  
But the cycle ends right now 'cause
G
You can't lead me down that road
                   G*
And you don't know what you don't know


D       A       Bm                  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       Bm                      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     C* hold.. D   A   G 
Why you gotta be so mean?


          A
And I can see you years from now in a bar
D               G            A
 Talkin' over a football game
(A)
With that same big loud opinion
D            G        A
But no one's listening
(A)
Washed up and ranting about the 
D*       A*     G*     
Same old bitter things
A                                 D* A*    G*  
Drunk and grumblin' all about how I  can't sing
-no chord         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


(*Palm mute first 2 lines*)
    D       A       Bm                  G
But someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city 
    D          A                G      G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean,  yeah--ah
D       A       Bm                      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
(G)                   D
Why you gotta be so...Someday
A       Bm                 G 
I'll be livin in a big ol' city 
 (why ya gotta be so mean)
    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean 
 (why ya gotta be so mean)
D       A       Bm                      G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
 (why ya gotta be so mean)
    D*         A*               G*
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
                   D*
Why you gotta be so  mean?

  1. What would the strumming pattern be? I always have trouble figuring out what they are.
    Thanks!

  2. I really think that the chorus is pretty much like this:

    D Asus4 Bm G
    Someday I’ll be livin’ in a big ol’ city
    D Asus4 G
    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    D Asus4 Bm G
    Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me
    D Asus4 G
    And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
    D C D A G
    Why you gotta be so mean?

    1. Lol, yep I missed those 2 Bm’s in the chorus! Fixed! Thanks :)

      (I can’t believe for the three and a half years this has been on Ultimate Guitar, it was never brought to my attention.)
