Since C—Ag made that awesome NBA commercial with Kobe flying everywhere, one
can only watch so much of the NBA playoffs before imagining this song as the
imaginary soundtrack to your imaginary 360 dunks...

[Intro] (arranged for guitar; I just write the chord on each beat) :

[verse]

The verse is transcribed as fifth—string power chords,
with '/' indicating a slide :

  E5               /G5             D5       /F5  E5
I   thought I knew you    thinking that you were true... I guess
  E5       /G5                             D5                 /F5 E5
I couldn't trust called your bluff time us up 'cause I've had e—  nough... you were
  E5               /G5         D5          /F5   E5
    There by my    side always    down for the ride... but your
  E5              /G5                             D5                /F5 E5
    joy ride just came down in flames 'cause your greed sold me out of  shame 

[pre—chorus]

A5
After all of the stealing and cheating you probably think that I hold resentment for
G5   E5        G5  E5
you       no no      you're wrong
A5                                          B5
'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do
C5                   D5            B5
I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through
     C5        A5
So I wanna say thank you


[chorus]
(the guitar just plays the bottom of each of these chords)

          em                 D/F#
'Cause it makes me that much stronger
G                          am
Makes me work a little bit harder
   C                  B7
It makes me that much wiser
   am         G        em
So thanks for making me  a fighter

[repeat verse riff x 2] (the post—chorus)
[repeat verse riff x 4] (verse 2)

Never, saw it coming
All of, your backstabbing
Just so, you could cash in
On a good thing before I realized your game
I heard, you're going around
Playing, the victim now
But don't, even begin
Feeling I'm the one to blame
'Cause you dug your own grave, uh huh 

[repeat pre—chorus]

After all of the fights and the lies
Yes you wanted to harm me but that won't work anymore
Uh, no more, oh no, it's over
'Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture
I wouldn't know how to be this way now, and never back down
So I wanna say thank you 

[repeat chorus]

[repeat intro] (the crazy bridge)

[repeat chorus a few times]
