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


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


Chorus 1:

  No more monsters, I can breathe again
E minorEm     D MajorD        G+G
  And you said that I was done
E minorEm        D MajorD         G+G
  Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come

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


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

Oh, some say, in life, you're gonna get what you give
     E minorEm      D MajorD      G+G  G/BG/B C majorC
But some things, only God can forgive
