[Intro] Cadd9 G Cadd9 G [Verse 1] Cadd9 When I picture G my hometown D There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you Cadd9 And a plaque G underneath it Cadd9 That threatens to push me G down the stairs, at our school Cadd9 And it was always G D the same searing pain But I dreamed that one day, I could say

[Chorus] G All that time you were Cadd9 throwin’ punches, D I was buildin’ somethin’ D And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel G Screamed “F**k you, Cadd9 Aimee” to the night sky, D as the blood was gushin’ D But I can’t forget the way you made me heal [Interlude] Cadd9 G Cadd9 G

[Verse 2] Cadd9 And it wasn’t a fair fight, D or a clean kill Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе Cadd9 G And then she wrote hеadlines Cadd9 In the local paper, G laughing at each baby step I’d take Cadd9 And it was always the G D same searing pain But I prayed that one day, I could say [Chorus] G All that time you were Cadd9 throwin’ punches, D I was buildin’ somethin’ D And I couldn’t wait to show you it was real G Screamed “F**k you, Cadd9 Aimee” to the night sky, D as the blood was gushin’ D But I can’t forget the way you made me heal G Everyone knows Cadd9 that my mother D is a saintly woman D But she used to say she wished that you were dead G I push each boulder Cadd9 up the hill Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head [Bridge] Em I wrote a thousand songs Am that you find uncool G I built a legacy which D you can’t undo Em But when I count the scars, Am there’s a moment of truth G That there wouldn’t be this, D Cadd9 if there hadn’t been you

[Verse 3] G And maybe you’ve reframed it D And in your mind you never beat my spirit black and blue Cadd9 I don’t think G you’ve changed much Cadd9 And so I changed your name, G and any real defining clues Cadd9 And one day, your G kid comes home singin’ D A song that only us two is gonna know is about— [Verse 4] Em D You, with your words like Cadd9 knives and swords Cadd9 And weapons that you use against me Em D You, have knocked me Cadd9 off my feet again Cadd9 Got me feelin' like a nothin' Em You, with your D voice like Cadd9 nails on a chalk board Cadd9 Callin' me out when I'm wounded Em D You, pickin' on Cadd9 the weaker man [Pre-Chorus] D Well you can take G me down with Cadd9 D just one single blow Cadd9 But you don't know, what you don't know...

Cadd9 Why you gotta be so mean? [Chorus] G All that time you were Cadd9 throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ D But it was all for nothin’ D And our town, it looks so small, from way up here G Screamed “Thank you, Cadd9 Aimee” to the night sky, D and the stars are stunnin’ D 'Cause I can’t forget the way you made me heal [Outro] Cadd9 G Thank you, Aimee Cadd9 G Thank you, Aimee D Cause I'm livin' in Cadd9 a big ol' city Cadd9 G Thank you, Aimee Cadd9 G Thank you, Aimee D I'm playing this Cadd9 song in Wembley G D All, you're ever gonna Cadd9 be, is mean G D And all you're ever Cadd9 gonna be is mean G Why you gotta be so mean?
