Standard (Capo 6)
Bm Asus G
You with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
Bm Asus G
You, have knocked me off my feet again. Got me feelin' like a nothing
Bm Asus G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board callin' me out when I'm wounded
Bm Asus G
You, pickin' on the weaker man
Asus D G Asus
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
G
but you don't know, what you don't know
D A Bm G D A G
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city 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 D
And all you're ever gonna be is mean.. Why you gotta be so mean?
Break: C D
Bm Asus G
You, with your swithching sides and your wild fire lies and your humiliation
Bm Asus G G
You, have pointed out my flaws again. As if I don't already see them
Bm Asus G
I walk with my head down. Trying to block you out 'Cause I never impress you
Bm Asus G
I just wanna feel okay again
Asus D G Asus
I bet you got pushed around. Somebody.... made you.... cold
G
But the cycle ends right now 'cause you can't lead me down that road
G G
and you don't know what you don't know

And I can see you years from now in a bar. Talking over a football game

With that same big loud opinion, but nobody's is listening
