[Intro] C G C G
[Primeira 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 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
[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
[Pré-Refrão]
C
And it was always the
G D
Same searing pain
But I prayed 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
[Terceira 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 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, 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 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
[Final]
C G
Thank you, Aimee
C G C G D
Thank you, Aimee
