This is not note for not but is close enough for my liking. I am just going off memory at the mo so don't be too harsh in your criticisms.

Intro - | Bm | D | G | G |

Verse - | Bm | D | G | G | x3
| G | G | A | A |

Chorus - | D | D | Bm | Bm | G |

Riff - follows the G chord in the chorus
and introduces the D chord

B-------------------3--------------------

This definitely not exactly right but should be a good starting point

Verse 1
There's an empty place inside that is hurting me
A place that keeps my heart out on it's own
A disconnected function of my wretchedness
That keeps me so hard pressed

Verse 2
It's a place where words are spoken you will never hear
A broken bridge of lines that just won't come
An empty lung that won't give the wind to speak at me
How far can it be from home

Chorus
Why you gotta be so mean to me
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
So why you gotta be so mean to me

Verse 3
Do you think that it got up and left for good this time
A crowd of faceless strangers moving on
A feeling that you left it all behind you now
That it doesn't hurt somehow To know

Repeat CHORUS

Verse 4
So open up the book that you keep deep inside
Let the pages yellow in the sun
Show them that you're not afraid to let them see
How far you can be From home

Chorus
Why you gotta be so mean to me
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
So why you gotta be so fucking mean to me
Why you gotta be Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be so mean to me

Fade to end.
