Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
[Verse 1]
Cadd9 G When I picture my hometown
D 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 And it was always the same searing pain
But I dreamed that one day, I could say
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 D All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
D And I can’t forgive the way you made me feel
G Cadd9 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
[Interlude]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
[Verse 2]
Cadd9 G D 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 And it was always the same searing pain
But I prayed that one day, I could say
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 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 Cadd9 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 Cadd9 D Everyone knows that my mother is a saintly woman
D But she used to say she wished that you were dead
G Cadd9 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 Cadd9 That there wouldn’t be this, if there hadn’t been you
[Verse 3]
G And maybe you’ve reframed it
D 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 A song that only us two is gonna know is about—
[Verse 4]
Em D Cadd9You, with your words like knives and swords
Cadd9And weapons that you use against me
Em D Cadd9You, have knocked me off my feet again
Cadd9Got me feelin' like a nothin'
Em D Cadd9You, with your voice like nails on a chalk board
Cadd9Callin' me out when I'm wounded
Em D Cadd9You, pickin' on the weaker man
[Pre-Chorus]
D G Cadd9 D Well you can take me down with just one single blow
Cadd9But you don't know, what you don't know...
[Chorus]
G D Em Cadd9Someday I'll be livin' in a big ol' city
G D Cadd9And all you're ever gonna be is mean
G D Em Cadd9Someday I'll be singing this song in Wembley
G D Cadd9And all you're ever gonna be is mean
G DWhy you gotta be so mean?
Cadd9Why you gotta be so mean?
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 All that time you were throwin’ punches, I was buildin’ somethin’
DBut it was all for nothin’
D And our town, it looks so small, from way up here
G Cadd9 D Screamed “Thank you, Aimee” to the night sky, and the stars are stunnin’
D 'Cause I can’t forget the way you made me heal
[Outro]
Cadd9 G Thank you, Aimee
Cadd9 G Thank you, Aimee
D Cadd9Cause I'm livin' in a big ol' city
Cadd9 G Thank you, Aimee
Cadd9 G Thank you, Aimee
D Cadd9I'm playing this song in Wembley
G D Cadd9All, you're ever gonna be, is mean
G* * D* Cadd9*And all you're ever gonna be is mean
G*Why you gotta be so mean?
