      G 
Dear Drew 
                                Bm 
did you know where I was every lunchtime? 
                                   Em7 
In the back of the bathroom where I'd hide 
                                   C 
From all of your friends and from you 
       G 
Dear Drew 
                           Bm 
remember that day on the playground 
                                   Em7 
When you tripped me up and pushed me down? 
                             G 
I went home and cried in my room 

{PreChorus} 
    Em    D         Em 
And I know it's been so long 
           D 
But I got something to say in this song 
 
 
Em 
You used to hate me 
C 
it used to break me 
G 
Now, looking back, I think, 
D 
"Oh, how it made me" 
Em 
Maybe my closure 
     C 
was just getting older 
G 
Been a few years 
        D                  Am7 
wishing I could've told ya 
                C 
All that you'll be 
                    G 
is the boy who hurt me 
                    D                       Am 
And I'll turn your words into songs people scream 
            C 
Look at me now 
                  G 
and how I turned out 
      D              G 
Dear Drew, thank you 
 

 
      G 
Dear Drew, 
                       Bm 
I'm doing better than ever 
                                  Em 
Life ain't the playground, it's better 
                              C 
I hope it's something you outgrow 
       G                             Bm 
And I don't think that we could ever be friends 
                           Em 
But I wish you well and I mean it 
                                C 
But deep down I hope that you know 
 

 
Em 
You used to hate me 
C 
it used to break me 
G 
Now, looking back, I think, 
D 
"Oh, how it made me" 
Em 
Maybe my closure 
     C 
was just getting older 
G 
Been a few years 
        D                  Am7 
wishing I could've told ya 
                C 
All that you'll be 
                    G 
is the boy who hurt me 
                    D                       Am 
And I'll turn your words into songs people scream 
            C 
Look at me now 
                  G 
and how I turned out 
      D              G 
Dear Drew, thank you 
 

 
Am G Em 

   D                                          Am G Em 
I finally feel like you're part of my history 
   D                                           Am G Em 
I cut all the ties and erased all the memories 
      D 
I'll give you some credit, you put me through hell 
         Am                       G             Em     D 
But you showed me the man that I don't want to ever be 
 

 
Em 
You used to hate me 
C 
it used to break me 
G 
Now, looking back, I think, 
D 
"Oh, how it made me" 
Em 
Maybe my closure 
     C 
was just getting older 
     G 
Now I'm at the pub 
          D                         Am 
and you start walking over, you say 

"Hello, stranger, 
C 
it's been forever 
     G 
Got something to say, 
     D 
I'm dying to tell ya 
   Am 
I treated you awfully, 
C 
oh, how it haunts me 
G 
I want you to know, 
D 
know that I'm sorry"
