Hi! So we're here again with the last single before the whole album
comes out next week! *yay* Don't let the Asus4's scare you away,
they're easy to play! A regular 'A' can be played though:)
**UPDATE**
The unnecessary D/F#'s are now gone. Happy? LOL!!
**One millionth update! lol!**
So I just saw the "Mean" music video and the beginning verse is the
Bm instead of D so it's been switched:) The Bm/G in the chorus is now
gone as well, it's just a G all the way through (which is easier too!)
Taylor plays with no capo in the video and plays with a capo on 4
when playing live. IF you want to transpose this up or down 2 half
steps, go for it:) just click the transpose button above and move or
lose the capo! Also I'm keeping the Asus4 in the chorus, but just play
an A if you want;)

MEAN - Taylor Swift
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think this kinda works, rate and comment!
EDIT: playing it back, I think D works better in the 2nd verse, (I originally had
Bm!)...but its up to you!
2nd EDIT! : Capo 2....forgot to mention that!
Verse:
D A Em
You, with your words like knives and swords
G

Capo 3
Bm A
You, with your words like knives
G
And swords and weapons that you use against me,
Bm A G
You, have knocked me off my feet again,
Got me feeling like I’m nothing.
Bm A G
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I’m wounded.
Bm A G
You, pickin’ on the weaker man.
