Taylor Swift - Mean: chords

C#m             B                      A
You, with your words like knives and swords
                     A
And weapons that you use against me
C#m         B                A
You, have knocked me off my feet again
        A
Got me feelin' like a nothin'
C#m             B                      A
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
           A
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
C#m   B                     A     A
You, pickin' on the weaker man

B
  Well you can take me down
E                A       B
  With just one single blow
     A
But you don't know, what you don't know.

Chorus:
 E      B        C#m                A
Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city
    E          B                 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
 E      B       C#m                      A
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    E          B                 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
  A                E
Why you gotta be so mean?

E   D E   E

C#m              B
You, with your switching sides
          A                      A
And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
C#m       B               A
You have pointed out my flaws again
         A
As if I don't already see them
C#m            B
  I walk with my head down,
            A
Trying to block you out
             A
'Cause I'll never impress you
C#m     B           A         A
I just wanna feel okay again

B
  I bet you got pushed around
E           A         B
  Somebody made you cold
              B
But the cycle ends right now
        A                 A
'Cause you can't lead me down that road
     A                   A
And you don't know what you don't know

Chorus:
 E      B        C#m                A
Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city
    E          B                 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
 E      B       C#m                      A
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    E          B                 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
  A                E
Why you gotta be so mean?

E   D E   E
A   B A   A

             B
And I can't see you years from now in a bar
E                A        B
 Talkin' over a football game
                    B
With that same big loud opinion
   E          A    B
But no one's listening
               B
Washed up and ranting about the
C#m       B       A     A
Same old bitter things
  B                              C#m B     A
Drunk and grumblin' all about how I can't sing
                  E     B   C#m   A
But all you are is mean
                E          B          C#m
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic
      A                E
And alone in life and mean,
     B         C#m       A
And mean, and mean, and mean

     E      B        C#m                A
But someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city
     E         B                 A     A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean, yeah

 E       B        C#m                     A
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
    E          B                 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
  A
Why you gotta be so
 E       B        C#m                 A
Someday, I'll be living in a big old city
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
    E          B                 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
  A
Why you gotta be so
 E       B        C#m                     A
Someday, I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
(Why you gotta be so mean?)
    E          B                 A
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
  A                E
Why you gotta be so mean?
