Capo 4th (enjoy! :)
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 feelin' like i'm nothing
C
You,
G
With your voice like nails
Am
on a chalkboard
F
Callin' me out when i'm wounded
C
You,
G F
Pickin' on the weaker man
Pre-Chorus
G
Well you can take me down
F G
with just one single blow.
G F
But you don't know what you don't know.
Chorus
C G
Someday I'll be
Am F
Livin' in a big ole' city
C G F
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
C G
Someday I'll be
Am F
Big enough so you can't hit me
C G F
And all your ever gonna be is mean.
(stop)
Why you gotta be so mean?
C G Am F
Verse 2
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 don't already see them.
C G
I walk with my head down
Am
Try to block you out
F
Cause I'll never impress you
C
I,
G F
Just wanna feel okay again
Pre-Chorus
G
I'll bet you got pushed around,
F
Somebody made you cold,
G
But the cycle ends right now,
G F
Cause you can't lead me down that road
G F
And you don't know what you don't know
