[Verse 1]
[G]He grew[A][G][Cm][G][A][C#dim][Cm]
[G]up on a dead end street
where the dogs were scared to go
If he ever [A]felt [G]any love at all,
[Em]he never once let it [D]show
[G]Look at the look that he's
[Cm]got in h[G]is eyes,
he's not like me or you
He never bend[A]s,
he don't know [Cm]com [G]promise,
you [Em]don't know what
he's gonna [D]do
Mean [C]people, ha ha ha
[D]Mean peo[C]ple, yeah yeah yea[D]h
Mean [C]people,
you [D]see them every [G]day[Gdim][G][Cm][G]
She cursed out the man at
the grocery store
Grabbing her kid by the ear
She promised that she'd
never come back no more
Be [Em]glad my old man's not [D]here
She's [G]hoping the world will
stay out of her way
Pushing herself [Gdim]through [G]the [Cm]crowd
[G]She threw down some change,
[Cm]stormed [G]out the door
She [Em]might be poor, but she's [D]proud
Mean [C]people, uh -huh [D]-huh

Mean [C]people,
you [D]see them every [G]day[D]
[G]Here they come, [Em]there they go
Al[C]ways in a [D]hurry
Does [G]anybody [Em]really know
[C]Why they're always [D]worried
[G]When you ask them [Em]how they feel
The [C]answer's short and [D]snappy
Every day I ask myself
Why can't they be [C]happy
[D][C][D][C][D][G]
Somebody's callin' from the bank
To just turn down your loan
To tell you thank you, but no thanks
You [Em]can't afford that [D]home
There's [Gm]already too many [G]people like that
The planet is crowded enough
[Cm]I tr[G]y and get up
every day with a smile
But [Em]sometimes it's so hard to [D]love
Mean [C]people, oh, oh, [D]oh
Mean [C]people, yeah, yeah, [D]yeah
Mean [C]people, you [D]see them every [G]day
Hey, [D]hey
[G]Here they come, [Em]there they go,
[C]always in a [D]hurry
Does [G]anybody [Em]really know
[C]why they're always [D]worried?
[G]When you ask them [Em]how they feel,
the [C]answer sure is [D]happy
Every day I ask myself,
why can't they be happy?
Mean [C]people, ha ha [D]ha
Mean [C]people, yeah, yeah, [D]yeah
Mean [C]people, you [D]see them every [G]day
