here's perfect. now here's the catch (there's always a catch): it's not exactly 
but it's close enough for me. it sounds good,i think that should count for somet
i am POSITIVE on the intro/verse riff, but thebridge is a little shaky. sounds g

"hey dad look at me, think back and talk to me.
did i grow up according to plan?
and do you think i'm wasting my time doin' things i wanna do?
but it hurts when you disapprove all along."


ok here's the shaky, yet good, soundin' bridge i made! it sounds good and it's n
all. -shrugs- try it and judge for yourself.


bridge
e-------
B-------
G------- play this for:
D---6----
A---6----
Eb--5----

"and now i try hard to make it,
i just wanna make you-"

e-----
B-----
G--0-- (that 0 is optional)
D--1-- then play this for:
A--1--
Eb-0--

"-proud. i'm never gonna be good enough for you."


e--------
B--------
G-------- 
D---6----
A---6----
Eb--5----

"can't pretend that i'm alright"

and i guess you just hold that for
"and you can't change me. cuz we-"


chorus


hold out:
e-----
B-----
G--9--
D--9--
A--6--
Eb----

"lost it all. nothing lasts forever, i'm sorry i can't be perfect."

then hit it again:

"now it's just too late, and we can't go back. i'm sorry i can't be perfect"

SOLO!

go immediately back into verse...

"i try not to think about the pain i feel inside.
did you know you used to be my hero?
all the things you said to me, now seem so far away.
and it feels like you don't care anymore."

bridge:
"And now i try hard to make it,
i just wanna make you proud.
i'm never gonna be good enough for you.
i can't stand another fight,
and nothing's alright."

chorus: (still hold the one chord)
"cuz we lost it all. nothing lasts forever. i'm sorry i can't be perfect.
now it's just too late. and we can't go back. i'm sorry i can't be perfect."


figure out the strums yourself. i'm doin' a lot for you.
