Am         G

[VERSE]
Am
Thank you to anyone who hurt me

This is a shout out to those who never cared
      G
I got scrapes on my heart from all the battles

And I owe you for getting me prepared
Am
I tip my hat to all the haters

Got a handshake for lovers from the past
        G
I got a peace sign for all you backstabbers

You're not the first and you sure won't be the last


[PD-C HORUS]
F
Minute by minute, it took me time, time, time
Am
Letter by letter, it cut me line by line
G
I'm proud of these scars 'cause they're mine, mine, mine
Dm
Mine, mine, mine, oh


[CHORUS]

[VERSE 2]
Am
In everyone there is a worry

And every scratch is a new tattoo
             G
'Cause those lines on your face, they tell a story

Of how you became, you became you
Am
So put your arms around the doubters

And dunk a deuce when they push below their belts
             G
They keep it up for the ones who lit the matches

'Cause you get fire proof from going through hell
