[verse]
The verse is transcribed as fifth-string power chords,
with ’/’ indicating a slide :
E5E5
I thought I knew you thinking that you were true... I guess
E5E5
I couldn’t trust called your bluff time us up ’cause I’ve had e- nough... you were
E5E5
There by my side always down for the ride... but your
E5E5
joy ride just came down in flames ’cause your greed sold me out of shame
[pre-chorus]
A5A5
After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for
E5E5
you no no you’re wrong
B5B5
’Cause if it wasn’t for all that you tried to do
B5B5
I wouldn’t know just how capable I am to pull through
A5A5
So I wanna say thank you
[chorus]
(the guitar just plays the bottom of each of these chords)
D/F#D/F#
’Cause it makes me that much stronger
am
Makes me work a little bit harder
B7B7
It makes me that much wiser
em
So thanks for making me a fighter
[repeat verse riff x 2] (the post-chorus)
[repeat verse riff x 4] (verse 2)
Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you’re going around
Playing, the victim now
But don’t, even begin
Feeling I’m the one to blame
’Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh
[repeat pre-chorus]
After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won’t work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it’s over
’Cause if it wasn’t for all of your torture
I wouldn’t know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you
[repeat chorus]
[repeat intro] (the crazy bridge)
[repeat chorus a few times]
