Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  with your words  like knives and swords  and weapons that you use against me
You,  have knocked  me off my feet  again. Got me feelin' like a nothing
You,  with your voice  like nails on a chalk  board callin' me out when I'm wounded
You, pickin'  on the weaker man
Well  you can take me down  with just one single blow
 but you  don't know, what you don't know
Someday I'll  be livin'  in a big ol' city  and all  you're ever  gonna be is mean
Someday I'll  be big  enough so you can't hit  me.
 And all  you're ever  gonna be is mean..  Why you gotta be so mean?
You,  with your swithching  sides and your wild  fire lies and your humiliation
You,  have pointed  out my flaws  again. As if I don't  already see them
I  walk with my  head down. Trying to block  you out 'Cause I never impress you
I  just wanna  feel okay  again
I  bet you got pushed around. Somebody.... made  you.... cold
 But the cycle ends right now 'cause you  can't lead me down that road
 and you  don't know what you  don't know
Someday I'll  be livin'  in a big ol' city  and all  you're ever  gonna be is mean
Someday I'll  be big  enough so you can't hit  me.
 And all  you're ever  gonna be is mean..  Why you gotta be so mean?
 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
Washed  up and ranting about the same  old bitter things
Drunk  and grumbling on about how I  can't sing
 But all you are is  mean
 All you are is mean  and alone  in life and mean,
 and mean  and mean  and mean
 (Palm muted)
Someday I'll  be livin'  in a big ol' city  and all  you're ever  gonna be is mean
Someday I'll  be big  enough so you can't hit  me.
 And all  you're ever  gonna be is mean..  Why you gotta be so mean?
Someday I'll  be livin'  in a big ol' city  and all  you're ever  gonna be is mean
  (Why you gotta be so mean?)
  Someday I'll  be big  enough so you can't hit  me
 And all  you're ever  gonna be is mean..  Why you gotta be so mean?
