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

  I'm proud of who I am

  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

  When I'm finished, they won't even know your name

I'll just say this is I wish you farewell

But some things, only God can forgive
