Intro: E-A-E-A 

E 

Hey dad look at me 

A 

Think back and talk to me 

E A 

Did I grow up according to plan? 

E A 

And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do? 

E A 

But it hurts when you disapprove all along 

Refrain: 

F#m 

And now I try hard to make it 

A E 

I just want to make you proud 

E F#m 

I'm never gonna be good enough for you 

A 

I can't pretend that I'm alright 

B 

And you can't change me 

Chorus: 

E 

Cos we lost it all 

B 

Nothing lasts forever 

A 

I'm sorry 

B 

I can't be perfect 

E 

Now it's just too late and 

B 

We can't go back 

A 

I'm sorry 

B 

I can't be perfect 

(Do chords of 1st stanza) 

I try not to think 

About the pain I feel inside 

Did you know you used to be my hero? 

All the days you spend with me 

Now seem so far away 

And it feels like you don't care anymore 

(Do chords of Refrain) 

And now I try hard to make it 

I just want to make you proud 

I'm never gonna be good enough for you 

I can't stand another fight 

And nothing's alright 

Repeat Chorus 

C#m B 

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said 

C#m B A 

Nothing's gonna make this right again 

C#m 

Please don't turn your back 

B F#m 

I can't believe it's hard 

F#m 

Just to talk to you 

A 

But you don't understand 

Repeat Chorus twice
