Capo 4th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  The unnecessary /'s are now gone. Happy? LOL!!

  [xx4432]-easier way

[x02230]-or a regular '' [x02220] can be played.

*Also, I use a really thin pick for this song, it makes it sound more

"Banjo-ish" lol:)

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 feelin' like a nothin'

You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board

 Callin' me out when I'm wounded

You, pickin' on the weaker man

Well you can take me down with just one single blow

  -once

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

Someday I'll be livin' 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

  ......Stop

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

  ...... -once

Why you gotta be so mean?

You, with your swithching sides and

 Your wild fire lies and your humiliation

You, have pointed out my flaws again

-stop

As if I don't already see them

I walk with my head down

 Tryin' to block you out

 'Cause I never impress you

I just wanna feel okay again

I bet you got pushed around

Somebody made you cold

 But the cycle ends right now 'cause

You can't lead me down that road

  -stop

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

Someday I'll be livin 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

  -once

Why you gotta be so mean?

 And I can see you years from now in a bar

Talkin' over a football game

 With that same big loud opinion

But no one's listening

 Washed up and ranting about the

* *once * *

Same old bitter things

Drunk and grumblin' all about how I can't sing

 -no chord

But 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, and mean

(*Palm mute*)

 But someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city

 And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah--ah

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...Someday

I'll be livin in a big ol' city (why ya gotta be so mean)

 And all you're ever gonna be is mean (why ya gotta be so mean)

Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me (why ya gotta be so mean)

  * *once * *

And all you're ever gonna be is mean

 Why you gotta be so mean?

Have fun!! RATE!!
