​​Thank You Aimee

[Intro] C  G  C  G

[Primera Parte]

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                             
That threatens to push me down the 
G
stairs

At our school

[Pre-Estribillo]

           C
And it was always the
G         D
Same searing pain

But I dreamed that one day

I could say

[Estribillo]

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
Screamed "Fuck you, Aimee" to the 
C
night sky
                D
As the blood was gushin'

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

[Segunda Parte]

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

[Pre-Estribillo]

           C
And it was always the
G         D
Same searing pain

But I prayed that one day

I could say

[Estribillo]

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
Screamed "Fuck you, Aimee" to the 
C
night sky
                D
As the blood was gushin'

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

[Pós-Refrão]

                       C           
Everyone knows that my mother is a 
      D
saintly woman

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

Ringin' in my head

[Puente]

  Em                              
I wrote a thousand songs that you 
Am
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

[Tercera Parte]

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                    
And one day, your kid comes home 
 G
singin'
  D
A song that only us two is gonna 
know is about you

'Cause—

[Estribillo]

G
 All that time you were throwin'
C                      D
Punches, it was all for nothing

And our town it looks so small
             G
From way up here
                                  C
Screamed "Thank you, Aimee" to the 
night sky
                D
And the stars are stunning

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

[Post-Refrão]

                       C           
Everyone knows that my mother is a 
      D
saintly woman

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

Ringin' in my head
