Taylor Swift - Mean
Originally in E, I play in C
AmYou, with yGour words like knives and Fswords
And weapons that you Fuse against me
AmYou, have kGnocked me off my Ffeet again
“Feelin’ like a nothin’” on 3 3 3 2 1 5 of the chord
Got me Ffeelin’ like a nothin’
AmYou, with your vGoice like nails on a cFhalk board
Callin’ me Fout when I’m wounded
AmYou, pGickin’ on the weaker man F
GWell you can take me down Cwith just one Fsingle Gblow
Hang on the first “you”, vox on 6 7 3 2 on “you dont know-ow”
But Fyou don’t know, what you don’t know
CSomeday GI’ll be Amlivin’ in a big olF‘ city
And Call you’re Gever gonna be is Fmean
CSomeday GI’ll be Ambig enough so you can’t Fhit me
And Call you’re Gever gonna be is Fmean
Hang on “why”
FWhy you gotta be so Cmean?
A#→ C
AmYou, with your Gswitching sides and
Your Fwildfire lies and your Fhumiliation
AmYou, have pGointed out my flaFws again
Hard stop on “don’t”
As if I Fdon’t already see them
AmI walk with mGy head down
Tryin’ to Fblock you out
‘Cause I Fnever impress you
AmI just waGnna feel okFay again
GI bet you got pushed around
CSomebody Fmade you cGold
GBut the cycle ends right now ‘cause
FYou can’t lead me down that road
Hard stop on the second “you”
And Fyou don’t know what you don’t know
CSomeday GI’ll be Amlivin’ in a big ol’ Fcity
And Call you’re Gever gonna be is Fmean
CSomeday GI’ll be Ambig enough so you can’tFhit me
And Call you’re Gever gonna be is Fmean
No hanging stop this time
Why you gotta be so Cmean?
A#→ C
Short solo on just the IV
F
And I can seGe you years from now in a bar
CTalkin’ over a Ffootball Ggame
GWith that same big loud opinion
But Cnobody’s FlistenGing
GWashed up and ranting about the
Hang each chord
AmSame old Gbitter Fthings
GDrunk and rumblin’ all about how AmI Gcan’t Fsing
But all you are is Cmean GAm
FAll you are is Cmean, and a Gliar, and Ampathetic
And Falone in life and Cmean, and Gmean, and Ammean, and Fmean
Muted chords only
But Csomeday GI’ll be Amlivin’ in a big olF‘ city
And Call you’re Gever gonna be is Fmean, yeah
Band back in
CSomeday GI’ll be Ambig enough so you can’tFhit me
And Call you’re Gever gonna be is Fmean

(Why you gotta be so mean?)
Hang each chord
And Call you’re Gever gonna be is Fmean
