F#m7 Am * ( then back to part 1 )

– – 2 – – – – 5 – – – – 0 – – – – 4 – – – – 2 – – – – 0 – –
– – 2 – – – – 5 – – – – 0 – – – – 4 – – – – 2 – – – – 0 – –

– – 2 – – – – 5 – – – – 0 – – – – 4 – – – – 2 – – – – 0 – –

so it should go something like this :
E G# F#m7 E
i thank the boys who kicked my ass when i was 17

E G# Am E
i thank the ones who chose to laugh and those who acted mean

E G# Am E
i thank the bullies for all the scraps and accidents and then some

E G# F#m7 E
they shaped my life; they made me like who i’ve become

( repeat with the other lines ) and then the chorus is something like this :
F#m7 Am E G# F#m7 E
and i . . . . . . so thankful for all of you . . . . . . .

F#m7 Am E G# F#m7 E
yes , i’m so stoked to be here with all of you . . .

( he constantly changes the chorus depending on where he is so just remember to be
for where you are , and then thankful for the people with you )
