[Intro]
Gadd9 C Gadd9 C
[Verse 1]
Gadd9 C When I picture my hometown
C There’s a bronze spray-tanned statue of you
Gadd9 C And a plaque underneath it
Gadd9 C That threatens to push me down the stairs, at our school
Gadd9 C C And it was always the same searing pain
But I dreamed that one day, I could say
[Chorus]
C Gadd9 C All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
C And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel
C Gadd9 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
[Interlude]
Gadd9 C Gadd9 C
[Verse 2]
Gadd9 C C And it wasn’t a fair fight, or a clean kill
Each time that Aimee stomped across my gravе
Gadd9 C And then she wrote hеadlines
Gadd9 C In the local paper, laughing at each baby step I’d take
Gadd9 C C And it was always the same searing pain
But I prayed that one day, I could say
[Chorus]
C Gadd9 C All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
C And I couldn’t wait to show you it was real
C Gadd9 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
C Gadd9 C Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
C But she used to say she wished that you were dead
C Gadd9 I push each boulder up the hill
C Your words are still just ringing in my head, ringing in my head
[Bridge]
Gm Gm I wrote a thousand songs that you find uncool
C C I built a legacy which you can’t undo
Gm Gm But when I count the scars, there’s a moment of truth
C C Gadd9 That there wouldn’t be this, if there hadn’t been you
[Verse 3]
C And maybe you’ve reframed it
C And in your mind you never beat my spirit black and blue
Gadd9 C I don’t think you’ve changed much
Gadd9 C And so I changed your name, and any real defining clues
Gadd9 C And one day, your kid comes home singin’
C A song that only us two is gonna know is about—
[Verse 4]
Gm C Gadd9You, with your words like knives and swords
Gadd9And weapons that you use against me
Gm C Gadd9You, have knocked me off my feet again
Gadd9Got me feelin' like a nothin'
Gm C Gadd9You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
Gadd9Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Gm C Gadd9You, pickin' on the weaker man
[Pre-Chorus]
C C Gadd9 C Well you can take me down with just one single blow
Gadd9But you don't know, what you don't know...
[Chorus]
C C Gm Gadd9Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
C C Gadd9And all you're ever gonna be is mean
C C Gm Gadd9Someday I'll be singing this song in Wembley
C C Gadd9And all you're ever gonna be is mean
C CWhy you gotta be so mean?
Gadd9Why you gotta be so mean?
[Chorus]
C Gadd9 All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
CBut it was all for nothin’
C And our town, it looks so small, from way up here
C Gadd9 C Screamed “Thank you, Aimee” to the night sky, and the stars are stunnin’
C 'Cause I can’t forget the way you made me heal
[Outro]
Gadd9 C Thank you, Aimee
Gadd9 C Thank you, Aimee
C Gadd9Cause I'm livin' in a big ol' city
Gadd9 C Thank you, Aimee
Gadd9 C Thank you, Aimee
C Gadd9I'm playing this song in Wembley
C C Gadd9All, you're ever gonna be, is mean
C* * C* Gadd9*And all you're ever gonna be is mean
C*Why you gotta be so mean?
