Selection chords: Katie Paterson

C
You,
      G
With your words like knives
    Am                        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
        Am
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
Am              F
Livinʼ in a big oleʼ city
C         G           F
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
C     G
Someday Iʼll be
Am                  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 Am F

Verse:
C
You,
G
With your switching sides
   Am
And your wild fire lies
      F
And your humiliation
C
You,
G              Am
Have pointed out my flaws again
F
As if I donʼt already see them.
C       G
I walk with my head down
Am
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
Am              F
Livinʼ in a big oleʼ city
C         G           F
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
C     G
Someday Iʼll be
Am                  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 Am 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       Am     F
About the same oleʼ bitter things.
G
Drunk and goin on about
Am        F
How I canʼt sing.

But all you are is mean.

C G Am

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

Chorus:
C        G
But someday iʼll be
Am              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
Am                  F
Big enough so you canʼt hit me
C         G           F
And all your ever gonna be is mean.

And all your ever gonna be is mean.
