These are Thank You Aimee – Mean chords by Taylor Swift on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.
[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]

[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...
[Chorus]
G D Em
Someday I'll be livin'
Cadd9
in a big ol' city
G D
And all you're ever
Cadd9
gonna be is mean
G D Em
Someday I'll be singing
Cadd9
this song in Wembley
G D
And all you're ever
Cadd9
gonna be is mean
G D
Why you gotta be
so mean?
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]

G
Why you gotta be
