Chords

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!) 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;) W/ Capo on 2 [Verse]
Bm             A                     G
You, with your words like knives and swords

(G)
And weapons that you use against me 

Bm        A                 G
You, have knocked me off my feet again

(G)
Got me feelin' like a nothin'

Bm             A                     G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board

(G)
Callin' me out when I'm wounded

Bm   A                     G
You, pickin' on the weaker man
[Pre-Chorus]
A                        D               G      A
 Well you can take me down with just one single blow

    G -once
But you don't know, what you don't know...
[Chorus]
D       Asus4   G                 
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city 

    D          Asus4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

D       Asus4   G                    
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      C D -once
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Verse]
Bm             A                                                  
You, with your switching sides and

     G                       
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation

Bm        A              G                                                               
You, have pointed out my flaws again
-stop As if I don't already see them
Bm          A                                          
I walk with my head down

          G                                                     
Tryin' to block you out 

         G
'Cause I never impress you

Bm     A           G                                                               
I just wanna feel okay again
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A                                                            
I bet you got pushed around

D        G        A                                        
Somebody made you cold

(A)                                                                                          
But the cycle ends right now 'cause

G
You can't lead me down that road

                   G -stop                                                 
And you don't know what you don't know
[Chorus]
D       Asus4   G                
Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city 

    D          Asus4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

D       Asus4   G                   
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 

    D          Asus4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

                   D     C D   A   G 
Why you gotta be so mean?
[Bridge]
          A
And I can see you years from now in a bar

D               G            A
 Talkin' over a football game

(A)
With that same big loud opinion

D            G        A
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

G              D            A          Bm
All you are is mean...and a liar...and pathetic

    G                 D         A         Bm        G
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
[Chorus] (*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

D       Asus4   G                    
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 

    D          Asus4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean

(G)                   D
Why you gotta be so...Someday

Asus4   G               
I'll be livin in a big ol' city (why ya gotta be so mean)

    D          Asus4            G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean (why ya gotta be so mean)

D       Asus4   G                   
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?
