Intro: B F# B F#

Verse:
B                  F#
 When I picture my hometown
           C#
 There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you
B                  F#
 And a plaque underneath it
      B                             F#
 That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school
B                F#                                                                      C#
 And it was always the same searing pain
C#
 But I dreamed that one day, I could say

Chorus:

 All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
C#
 And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel
F#                                  B                         C#
 Screamed “Fuck you, Aimee” to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’
C#
 But I can’t forget the way you made me heal

B F# B F#

Verse:
B                F#                C#
 And it wasn’t a fair fight, or a clean kill
C#
 Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе
B                   F#
 And then she wrote hеadlines
        B                             F#
 In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I’d take
            B          F#        C#
 And it was always the same searing pain
C#
 But I prayed that one day, I could say

Chorus:
F#                                B                       C#
 All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
C#
 And I couldn’t wait to show you it was real
F#                                  B                         C#
 Screamed “Fuck you, Aimee” to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’
C#
 But I can’t forget the way you made me heal
F#                       B                 C#
 Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
C#
 But she used to say she wished that you were dead
F#                           B
 I push each boulder up the hill
                           C#
 Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head

Bridge:
   D#m                              G#m
 I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool
   F#                        C#
 I built a legacy which you can’t undo
     D#m                                G#m
 But when I count the scars, there’s a moment of truth
            F#                          C#           B    F#   B   F#
 That there wouldn’t be this, if there hadn’t been you

Verse:
B                   F#
 And maybe you’ve reframed it
     C#
 And in your mind you never beat my spirit black and blue
B                     F#
 I don’t think you’ve changed much
     B                               F#
 And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues
             B                    F#
 And one day, your kid comes home singin’
   C#
 A song that only us two is gonna know is about you, ’cause—

Chorus:
F#                                B                       C#
 All that time you were throwin’ punches, it was all for nothin’

 And our town, it looks so small, from way up here
F#                                   B                          C#
 Screamed “Thank you, Aimee” to the night sky, and the stars are stunnin’

 ʼCause I can’t forget the way you made me heal
F#                       B                 C#
 Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman

 But she used to say she wished that you were dead
F#                                B
 So I pushed each boulder up the hill
                            C#
 Your words were still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head

Outro:
B           F#
 Thank you, Aimee
B           F#
 Thank you, Aimee
