Mean – Glee Cast Version (Mark Salling & Dot Marie Jones)
Standard Tuning
Am Fmaj7 Gsus4 G
Am G F
You, with your words like knives and swords
And weapons that you use against me
Am G F
You, have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feelin' like a nothin'
Am G F
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Am G F
You, pickin' on the weaker man
G C F G
Well you can take me down with just one single blow
F (once)
But you don't know, what you don't know...
C G F
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
C G F
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
C G F
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me
C G F
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
F(once) C Bb C C/B
Why you gotta be so mean?
Am G
You, with your swithching sides and
F
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
Am G F
You, have pointed out my flaws again
F (once)
As if I don't already see them
Am G
I walk with my head down
F
Tryin' to block you out 'cause I never impress you
Am G F
I just wanna feel okay again
