Intro C  G  C  G 



[Verso 1]

C                  G 
 When I picture my hometown 
          D 
There's a bronze spray-tanned 

Statue of you 
C                  G 
 And a plaque underneath it 
     C                             G 
That threatens to push me down the stairs 

At our school 


[Pré-Refrão]

           C 
And it was always the 
G         D 
Same searing pain 

But I dreamed that one day 

I could say 


[Refrão]

G 
 All that time you were throwin' 
C                      D 
Punches, I was buildin' somethin' 

And I can't forgive 
                    G 
The way you made me feel 
                                  C 
Screamed "Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky 
                D 
As the blood was gushin' 

But I can't forget 
                    C    G  C  G 
The way you made me heal 



[Verso 2]

C                G 
 And it wasn't a fair fight 
     D 
Or a clean kill 

Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе 
C                   G 
 And then she wrote hеadlines 
       C 
In the local paper 
                 G 
Laughing at each baby step I'd take 


[Pré-Refrão]

           C 
And it was always the 
G         D 
Same searing pain 

But I dreamed that one day 

I could say 


[Refrão]

G 
 All that time you were throwin' 
C                      D 
Punches, I was buildin' somethin' 

And I can't forgive 
                    G 
The way you made me feel 
                                  C 
Screamed "Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky 
                D 
As the blood was gushin' 

But I can't forget 
                    G 
The way you made me heal


[Pós-Refrão]

                       C                 D 
Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman 

But she used to say she wished that you were dead 
G                                      C 
 So I pushed each boulder up that hill 
                           D 
Your words were still just ringin' in my head 

Ringin' in my head 



[Ponte]

  Em                              Am 
I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool 
  G                        D 
I built a legacy which 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           C   G  C  G 
If there hadn't been you 



[Verso 3]

C                   G 
 And maybe you've reframed it 
    D 
And in your mind 

You never beat my spirit black and blue 
C                     G 
 I don't think you've changed much 
    C 
And so I changed your name 
        G 
And any real defining clues 
           C                     G 
And one day, your kid comes home singin' 
  D 
A song that only us two is gonna know is about you 

'Cause 


[Refrão]

G 
 All that time you were throwin' 
C                      D 
Punches, I was buildin' somethin' 

And I can't forgive 
                    G 
The way you made me feel 
                                  C 
Screamed "Fuck you, Aimee" to the night sky 
                D 
As the blood was gushin' 

But I can't forget 
                    G 
The way you made me heal 



[Pós-Refrão]

                       C                 D 
Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

                           D 
Your words were still just ringin' in my head 

Ringin' in my head
