Intro: C G C G

Verse:
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
C                G                                                                      D
 And it was always the same searing pain
D
 But I dreamed that one day, I could say

Chorus:

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

C G C G

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

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

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

Verse:
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                               G
 And so I changed your name, 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—

Chorus:
G                                C                       D
 All that time you were throwin’ punches, it was all for nothin’

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

 ʼCause I can’t forget the way you made me heal
G                       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 the hill
                            D
 Your words were still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head

Outro:
C           G
 Thank you, Aimee
C           G
 Thank you, Aimee

C G D
