G                               Cadd9
I guess it started when I was a kid,
       G                        Cadd9
If you said I couldn't do it I did,
       D
Always had a stuborn streak,
      Em7
Put a wall in front of me,
           F           C          D
And I'll find a way to get around it,

[Verse 2]
             G                                   Cadd9
There was a friend who said I'd never make the team,
           G                             Cadd9
A lot of small town talk said I'd never leave,
        D
Ah and you know who you are,
Em
You all played a part,
     F       C         D
In pushin me on to my dream,

[Chorus]
G                                      Cadd9
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
                             F - C
Pack it up and get back home,
G                                           Em
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
       D
Yea I knew it all along,
C                         G              C   C/B  A7
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
G        Em7      C             D      G - Cadd9 - F - C
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,

[Verse 3]
G                                   Cadd9
Played my music for a man behind a desk,
         G                              Cadd9
He said sorry what you've got I just don't get,
       D
Ah but here I am today,
Em
Standin on this stage,
      F           C      D
And I wonder even now if he gets it yet

[Chorus]
G                                      Cadd9
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
                             F - C
Pack it up and get back home,
G                                           Em
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
       D
Yea I knew it all along,
C                         G              C   C/B  A7
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
G        Em7      C             D      G - Cadd9 - F - C
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,

[Bridge]

     F                 C
The ones who said I'd never make it,
Dm                    C
Those who doubted I could take it,
F              (walk E9 / D#9 / D9)
I'll owe ya one,


[Chorus]
G                                      Cadd9
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
                             F - C
Pack it up and get back home,
G                                           Em
It kept me going knowin I would prove them wrong,
       D
Yea I knew it all along,
C                         G              C   C/B  A7
Without 'm I might have given up a long time ago, and so,
G         Em       C            D       G - Em - C - D
I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
    G         Em       C            D       G - Cadd9
Yea I wanna thank everone who ever told me no,
