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 feeling like a nothing
You,  with your voice  like nails on a chalkboard
 calling me out when I'm wounded
 You,  picking  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 and
Someday,  I'll be living  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 switching sides and  your wildfire 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'll never impress
 you,
I just wanna  feel okay again.
I'll  bet you got pushed around,  somebody made you cold,
But  the cycle ends right now 'cause you wont take me down that road.
 But you don't know what you don't know.
Someday, I'll  be living  in a big  ol' city,
And  all you're  ever gonna  be is mean.
Someday, I'll  be big  enough so that  you can't hit me,
And  all you're  ever gonna  be is mean.
Why  you gotta be so mean?
 Woah
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 listening,
Washed  up and ranting about  the same old  bitter things,
Drunk  and rumbling on about  how  I can't sing,
All  you  are is  mean.
All  you  are is  mean,  and a  liar, and  pathetic, and alone in life and  mean.
And  mean,  and  mean,
But  someday, I'll be living in a big ol' city,
 And all you're ever gonna  be is mean.
 Yeah, yeah.
Someday, I'll  be living  in a big ol' city,
And  all you're  ever  gonna be is mean.
 Why ya gotta be so
Someday, I'll  be living  in a big ol' city,
And  all you're  ever  gonna be is mean.
 Yeah
Some  Day I'll  be  big enough so you can't hit me
And  all your  ever  gonna be is mean
Why  ya gotta be so mean
