[Intro]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G When I picture my hometown D/F# There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you Cadd9 G And a plaque underneath it Cadd9 G That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school Cadd9 G D/F# And it was always the same searing pain D/F#* But I dreamed that one day, I could say
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 D/F# All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ D/F# And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel G Cadd9 D/F# Screamed “Fuck you, Aimee” to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’ D/F# But I can’t forget the way you made me heal
[Interlude]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G D/F# And it wasn’t a fair fight, or a clean kill
Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе
Cadd9 G And then she wrote hеadlines Cadd9 G In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I’d take Cadd9 G D/F# And it was always the same searing pain
But I dreamed that one day, I could say
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 D/F# All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ D/F# And I couldn’t wait to show you it was real G Cadd9 D/F# Screamed “Fuck you, Aimee” to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’ D/F# But I can’t forget the way you made me heal G Cadd9 D/F# Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman D/F# But she used to say she wished that you were dead G Cadd9 I push each boulder up the hill D/F# Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head
[Bridge]
Em7 Cadd9 I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool G D/F# I built a legacy which you can’t undo Em7 Cadd9 But when I count the scars, there’s a moment of truth G D/F# Cadd9 That there wouldn’t be this, if there hadn’t been you
[Verse 3]
G And maybe you’ve reframed it D/F# And in your mind you never beat my spirit black and blue Cadd9 G I don’t think you’ve changed much Cadd9 G And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues Cadd9 G And one day, your kid comes home singin’ D/F# A song that only us two is gonna know is about—
[Verse 4]
Em7 D/F# Cadd9 You, with your words like knives and swords Cadd9 And weapons that you use against me Em7 D/F# Cadd9 You, have knocked me off my feet again Cadd9* Got me feelin' like a nothin' Em7 D/F# Cadd9 You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board Cadd9 Callin' me out when I'm wounded Em7 D/F# Cadd9 You, pickin' on the weaker man
[Pre-Chorus]
D/F# G Cadd9 D/F# Well you can take me down with just one single blow Cadd9 But you don't know, what you don't know...
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em7 Cadd9 Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city G D/F# Cadd9 And all you're ever gonna be is mean G D/F# Em7* Cadd9* Someday I'll be singing this song in Wembley G D/F# Cadd9 And all you're ever gonna be is mean G D/F# Em7 Why you gotta be so mean? Cadd9 G D/F# Em7 Why you gotta be so mean?
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 Em7 All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’ Cadd9 But it was all for nothin’ D/F# Em7 Screamed “Thank you, Aimee” to the night sky, and the stars are stunnin’ Cadd9 G 'Cause I can’t forget the way you made me heal
[Outro]
D/F# Thank you, Aimee Em7 Thank you, Aimee Cadd9 G Cause I'm livin' in a big ol' city D/F# Thank you, Aimee Em7 Thank you, Aimee Cadd9 I'm playing this song in Wembley D/F# And all, You're ever gonna be Em7 Cadd9 Is mean G* D/F#* Cadd9* And all you're ever gonna be is mean G* Why you gotta be so mean?
