Verse 1
[D]Hey dad look at me
[G]Think back and talk to me
[D]Did I grow up according to [G]plan?
[D]And do you think I'm wasting
my time [G]doing things I wanna do?
[D]But it hurts when you
disapprove all [G]along
And now [Em]I try hard to make it
[G]I just want to make you [D]proud
[D]I'm never gonna be good enough for [Em]you
I can't pretend that I'm [G]alright
[A]And you can't change me
Chorus
'Cuz we [D]lost it all
Nothing [A]lasts forever
I'm [Bm]sorry
I [A]can't be [G]perfect
Now it's [D]just too late
And we [A]can't go back
I'm [Bm]sorry
I [A]can't be [G]perfect
Verse 2
[D]I try not to think
[G]About the pain I feel inside
[D]Did you know you used to be my [G]hero?
[D]All the days you spent
with me [G]now seem so far away
[D]And it feels like you don't care [G]anymore
And now [Em]I try hard to make it
[G]I just want to make you [D]proud
[D]I'm never gonna be good enough for [Em]you
I can't stand another [G]fight
[A]And nothing's alright
Chorus
'Cuz we [D]lost it all
Nothing [A]lasts forever
I'm [Bm]sorry

Bridge
[G]Nothing's gonna change
the [A]things that you [D]said
[G]Nothing's gonna make this [A]right [D]again
[Bm]Please don't turn your back
[A]I can't believe it's hard
[G]Just to talk to you
But you don't understand
