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
