Verse 1:

Am G C
There's an empty place inside that is hurting me
Am Fmaj7
A place that keeps my heart out on it's own
Fmaj7 Am
A disconnected function of my wretchedness
G Cadd9 G
That keeps me so hard pressed

Verse 2:

Am G C
It's a place where words are spoken you will never hear
Am Fmaj7
A broken bridge of lines that just won't come
Fmaj7 Am
An empty lung that won't give the wind to speak at me
G Fmaj7 [riff]
How far can it be from home


Chorus 1:

C Am Fmaj7
Why you gotta be so mean to me
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
C Am Fmaj7
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
C Am G
Why you gotta be so mean to me


Verse 3:
Am G C
Do you think that it got up and left for good this time
Am Fmaj7
A crowd of faceless strangers moving on
Fmaj7 Am
A feeling that you left it all behind you now
G Fmaj7 [riff]
That it doesn't hurt somehow to know


Chorus 2:

C Am Fmaj7
Why you gotta be so mean to me
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
C Am Fmaj7
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
C Am G Fmaj7 [riff]
Why you gotta be so mean to me Yeah heah heah


Solo (same chords and riff as chorus)


Verse 4:

Am G C
So open up the book that you keep deep inside
Am Fmaj7
Let the pages yellow in the sun
Fmaj7 Am
Show them that you're not afraid to let them see
G Fmaj7 [riff]
How far you can be from home


Chorus:

C Am Fmaj7
Why you gotta be so mean to me
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
C Am Fmaj7
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta be so fuckin' mean to me
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta be, why you gotta be
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta be, why you gotta be
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta be, why you gotta be
C Am [riff]
Why you gotta be so mean to me
