Bm Asus G
you with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me
Bm Asus G
you , have knocked me off my feet again . got me feelin’ like a nothing
Bm Asus G
you , with your voice like nails on a chalk board callin’ me out when i’m wounded
Bm Asus G
you , pickin’ on the weaker man

Asus D G Asus
well you can take me down with just one single blow
G
but you don’t know , what you don’t know

D A Bm G D A G
someday i’ll be livin’ in a big ol’ city and all you’re ever gonna be is mean
D A Bm G
someday i’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me .
D A G D
and all you’re ever gonna be is mean . . why you gotta be so mean?

Bm Asus G
you , with your swithching sides and your wild fire lies and your humiliation
Bm Asus G G
you , have pointed out my flaws again . as if i don’t already see them
Bm Asus G
i walk with my head down . trying to block you out ’cause i never impress you
Bm Asus G
i just wanna feel okay again

Asus D G Asus
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

Asus Bm Asus G
drunk and grumbling on about how i can’t sing
