Em           D              G
   Well, you almost had me fooled

Em         D          G
   Told me that I was nothing without you, oh

Em           D                  G    
   And after everything you've done

   I can thank you for how strong I have become
[Pre-Chorus 1]
       Em                             D
'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell

And we both know all the truth I could tell

G
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell
