Hi! So we're here again with the last single before the whole album
comes out next week! *yay* Don't let the Asus4's scare you away,
they're easy to play! A regular 'A' can be played though:)
**UPDATE**
The unnecessary D/F#'s are now gone. Happy? LOL!!
**One millionth update! lol!**
So I just saw the "Mean" music video and the beginning verse is the
Bm instead of D so it's been switched:) The Bm/G in the chorus is now
gone as well, it's just a G all the way through (which is easier too!)
Taylor plays with no capo in the video and plays with a capo on 4
when playing live. IF you want to transpose this up or down 2 half
steps, go for it:) just click the transpose button above and move or
lose the capo! Also I'm keeping the Asus4 in the chorus, but just play
an A if you want;)
***Please Rate***
Let me know what you think!:)
EADGBe
Bm [xx4432]-easier way
Asus4 [x02230]-or a regular 'A' [x02220] can be played.
*Also, I use a really thin pick for this song, it makes it sound more
"Banjo-ish" lol:)
Standard Tuning
W/ Capo on 2
You, with your words like knives and swords
(G)
And weapons that you use against me
You, have knocked me off my feet again
(G)
Got me feelin' like a nothin'
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
(G)
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin' on the weaker man
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
G -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
D Asus4 G......Stop
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
...... D D -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
(A)
But the cycle ends right now 'cause
You can't lead me down that road
G -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
D D -once Asus4 G
Why you gotta be so mean?
And I can see you years from now in a bar
Talkin' over a football game
(A)
With that same big loud opinion
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
All you are is mean...and a liar...and pathetic
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
(*Palm mute*)
D* Asus4* G*
But someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city
D* Asus4* G* G
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
(G) D
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)
D* *once Asus4* G*
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
D*
Why you gotta be so mean?
Have fun!! RATE!!
