Selection chords: Katie Paterson

C#
You,
      G#
With your words like knives
    A#m                        F#
And swords and weapons that you use against me
C#
You,
     G#              F#
Have knocked me off my feet again
F#
Got me feelinʼ like iʼm nothing
C#
You,
       G#
With your voice like nails
        A#m
On a chalkboard
           F#
Callinʼ me out when iʼm wounded
C#
You,
G#               F#
Pickinʼ on the weaker man

Pre-chorus:
G#
Well you can take me down
F#              G#
with just one single blow.
G#              F#
But you donʼt know what you donʼt know.

Chorus:
C#     G#
Someday Iʼll be
A#m              F#
Livinʼ in a big oleʼ city
C#         G#           F#
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
C#     G#
Someday Iʼll be
A#m                  F#
Big enough so you canʼt hit me
C#         G#           F#
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
N.C.
Why you gotta be so mean?

C# G# A#m F#

Verse:
C#
You,
G#
With your switching sides
   A#m
And your wild fire lies
      F#
And your humiliation
C#
You,
G#              A#m
Have pointed out my flaws again
F#
As if I donʼt already see them.
C#       G#
I walk with my head down
A#m
Try to block you out
F#
Cause Iʼll never impress you
C#
I,
     G#          F#
Just wanna feel okay again

Pre-chorus:
G#
Iʼll bet you got pushed around,
F#
Somebody made you cold,
G#
But the cycle ends right now,
G#              F#
Cause you canʼt lead me down that road
G#              F#
And you donʼt know what you donʼt know

Chorus:
C#     G#
Someday Iʼll be
A#m              F#
Livinʼ in a big oleʼ city
C#         G#           F#
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
C#     G#
Someday Iʼll be
A#m                  F#
Big enough so you canʼt hit me
C#         G#           F#
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
N.C.
Why you gotta be so mean?

C# G# A#m F# x2

Bridge:
G#
And I can see years from now in a bar
F#
Talkinʼ over a football game
G#
With that same big loud opinion
F#
But nobodyʼs listening
G#
Washed up and ranting
       C#       A#m     F#
About the same oleʼ bitter things.
G#
Drunk and goin on about
A#m        F#
How I canʼt sing.

But all you are is mean.

C# G# A#m

F#           C#
All you are is mean.
     G#
And a liar.
     A#m
And pathetic
    F#
And alone in life
    C#
And mean.
    G#
And mean.
    A#m
And mean.
    F#
And mean.

Chorus:
C#        G#
But someday iʼll be
A#m              F#
Livinʼ in a big oleʼ city
C#         G#           F#
And all your ever gonna be is mean
F#
Yeah
C#     G#
Someday Iʼll be
A#m                  F#
Big enough so you canʼt hit me
C#         G#           F#
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
F#
Why you gotta be so(mean)

C#     G#
Someday Iʼll be
A#m              F#
Livinʼ in a big oleʼ city (Why you gotta be so mean)

And all your ever gonna be is mean.
F#
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
C#     G#
Someday Iʼll be
A#m                  F#
Big enough so you canʼt hit me (Why you gotta be so mean)

And all your ever gonna be is mean.
               C#
