Mean - Taylor Swift (chords/lyrics)
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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...
[Chorus]
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 D
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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 -stop
And you don't know what you don't know
[Chorus]
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 D A G
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Bridge]
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* *once 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
[Interlude]
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
[Chorus 2]
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* *once A* G*
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
D*
Why you gotta be so mean?
