Standard (EADGBE)

 You, with your words like knives, and swords and weapons that you use

against me

 You, have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like a nothing

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard

calling me out when I'm wounded

 You, picking on the weaker man

Well you can take me down with just one single blow, But you don't

know what you don't know and

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

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me,

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

 Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your switching sides and your wildfire lies and your

humiliation

You, have pointed out my flaws again, as if I don't already see them,

I walk with my head down trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress

you,

I just wanna feel okay again.

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

But the cycle ends right now 'cause you wont take me down that road.

But you don't know what you don't know.

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

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Someday, I'll be big enough so that you can't hit me,

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why you gotta be so mean?

Woah

And I can see you years from now in a bar talking over a football game,

With that same big loud opinion but nobody's listening,

Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things,

Drunk and rumbling on about how I can't sing,

All you are is mean.

All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life and mean.

And mean, and mean,

But someday, I'll be living in a big ol' city,

 And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Yeah, yeah.

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

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Why ya gotta be so

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

And all you're ever gonna be is mean.

Yeah

Some Day I'll be big enough so you can't hit me

And all your ever gonna be is mean

Why ya gotta be so mean
