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...

[verse]

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

ighter

[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]
