Verse:
G
Dear Drew
Bm
did you know where I was every lunchtime?
Em7
In the back of the bathroom where I'd hide
C
From all of your friends and from you
G
Dear Drew
Bm
remember that day on the playground
Em7
When you tripped me up and pushed me down?
G
I went home and cried in my room
Prechorus:
Em D Em
And I know it's been so long
D
But I got something to say in this song
Chorus:
Em
You used to hate me
C
it used to break me
G
Now, looking back, I think,
D
"Oh, how it made me"
Em
Maybe my closure
C
was just getting older
G
Been a few years
D Am7
wishing I could've told ya
C
All that you'll be
G
is the boy who hurt me
D Am
And I'll turn your words into songs people scream
C
Look at me now
G
and how I turned out
D G
Dear Drew, thank you
Verse:
G
Dear Drew,
Bm
I'm doing better than ever
Em
Life ain't the playground, it's better
C
I hope it's something you outgrow
G Bm
And I don't think that we could ever be friends
Em
But I wish you well and I mean it
C
But deep down I hope that you know
Chorus:
Em
You used to hate me
C
it used to break me
G
Now, looking back, I think,
D
"Oh, how it made me"
Em
Maybe my closure
C
was just getting older
G
Been a few years
D Am7
wishing I could've told ya
C
All that you'll be
G
is the boy who hurt me
D Am
And I'll turn your words into songs people scream
C
Look at me now
G
and how I turned out
D G
Dear Drew, thank you
Bridge:
Am G Em
D Am G Em
I finally feel like you're part of my history
D Am G Em
I cut all the ties and erased all the memories
D
I'll give you some credit, you put me through hell
Am G Em D
But you showed me the man that I don't want to ever be
Chorus:
Em
You used to hate me
C
it used to break me
G
Now, looking back, I think,
D
"Oh, how it made me"
Em
Maybe my closure
C
was just getting older
G
Now I'm at the pub
D Am
and you start walking over, you say
"Hello, stranger,
C
it's been forever
G
Got something to say,
D
I'm dying to tell ya
Am
I treated you awfully,
C
oh, how it haunts me
G
I want you to know,
D
know that I'm sorry"
