Intro:
Em  D  G
Em  D  G

Verse 1:
Em           D              G
   Well, you almost had me fooled
Em         D          G
   Told me that I was nothing without you, oh
Em           D                  G
   And after everything you've done
Em       D                 G
   I can thank you for how strong I have become


Pre-Chorus 1:
       Em                             D
'Cause you brought the flames and you put me through hell
G
I had to learn how to fight for myself
Em                       D
And we both know all the truth I could tell
G
I'll just say this is I wish you farewell


Chorus 1:
Em                      D    G
I hope you're somewhere praying, praying
Em                 D      G   C
I hope your soul is changing, changing
Em   D                   G

Verse 2:
Em     D               G
   I'm proud of who I am
Em         D          G
   No more monsters, I can breathe again
Em         D                G
   And you said that I was done
Em                D                 G
   Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come

Em             D             G
  'Cause I can make it on my own
Em             D                   G
   And I don't need you, I found a strength I've never known
Em            D                   G
   I’ll bring thunder, I'll bring rain, ah-oh
Em          D                    G         G/B  C
   When I'm finished, they won't even know your name


Pre-Chorus 2:
Em                             D
You brought the flames and you put me through hell
G
I had to learn how to fight for myself

I'll just say this is I wish you farewell

   I hope you find your peace, falling on your knees

Someday, maybe you'll see the light
