Verse:
D         A                          Em
You, with your words like knives and swords
                     G
And weapons that you use against me 
D         A                 Em
You, have knocked me off my feet again
       G
Got me feelin' like a nothin'
D              A                     Em
You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
           G
Callin' me out when I'm wounded
D    A                     Em   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 
But you don't know, what you don't know


Chorus: 
D       A       Em               G 
Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city 
    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
D       A       Em                     G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
N.C.               D
Why you gotta be so mean?


Verse:
D             A                                                  
You, with your swithching sides and
     Em                       G
Your wild fire lies and your humiliation
D         A                     Em                               
You, have pointed out my flaws again
        G     N.C.                                                 
As if I don't already see them
D            A                                          
I walk with my head down
          Em                                                     
tryin' to block you out 
         G
'cause I never impress you
D       A           Em        G
I just wanna feel okay again


Pre-Chorus:
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                                               
And you don't know what you don't know

Why you gotta be so mean?

A G


Bridge:
            A
And I can't 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    A   G    
same old bitter things
A                                D A     G  
Drunk and rumblin' all about how I can't sing
N.C.              D     A 
But all you are is mean
G              D           A         D
All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic
    G                 D         A         D         G
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean


Chorus: (chords are muted up until the 'yeahh!')
D       A       Em               G 
Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city 
    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean...yeahh
D       A       Em                     G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
                      D
Why you gotta be so.. Someday
 A       Em               G 
I'll be livin in a big ol' city 
    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
D       A       Em                     G
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me 
    D          A                G
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
                   D
Why you gotta be so mean?

Yang mau aku bagi'in ke teman2 adalah : 

Hidup tidak selamanya berjalan sesuai keinginan kita.. Kata seorang expert, 'life is a period of time'.. Kalo menurut aku, hidup itu anugerah dari Tuhan (pasti banyak orang juga beranggapan seperti itu), hidup itu selalu menyenangkan. Lho, kog selalu menyenangkan? bukannya ada saat dimana kita pasti mengalami kepedihan, kesedihan, kegalauan, keresahan dan lain sebagainya? A simple answer to respon it : "Justru karena lika-liku, atau suka-duka yang kita alami itulah yang membuat life is fun"..

Di lagu ini, menceritakan tentang kehidupan yang selalu dicemooh. Kadang orang2 di sekitar kita beranggapan kalo kita ini tidak berarti, tidak bisa melakukan apa-apa, tidak dapat bermimpi atau bercita2, kita ini orang2 kecil. Tapi, jangan mau terpengaruh dengan perkataan orang. Think positive! Hidup memang berat tapi menyenangkan, kita bisa lewati itu semua kog. Yang penting jangan sampai larut ke dalam perkataan orang. Bangkit, dan berjalanlah.. Kalo jatuh, bangkitlah lagi. Supaya orang lain tahu bahwa kita bukan orang2 kecil, melainkan orang2 hebat yang terus bangkit walau jatuh berulang kali. Seperti yang tercantum dalam lirik lagu ini: 'Someday I'll be livin in a big ol' city, Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me'.. Suatu saat nanti, ketika kita tetap bangkit dan tetap berjalan, kita akan mendapat sesuatu, baik mimpi, cita-cita, dan harapan yang memang semestinya kita peroleh.

So, dream big! Don't let other people light off ur dream or ur hope..

Rise up and keep walking..
