Perfect - Simple Plan
Capo: Fret 2
Tuning: , E A D G B E
This is the guitar chords to play along with the CD. They are easy chords to play and I
you enjoy playing it as much as I do. This is meant for acoustic but I'm sure with a
bit of tweaking it can be played on electric.
Capo 2nd fret
[Intro]
Slow intro: (strum once on each)
(continuous st
rumming) It's
the same just
contious strum
ming. The chor
ds changes can
be
bit fast at first (and confusing. it's four beats between each change except between the
and G, then its like 2) but once you get
they're easy.
[Verse 1]
Hey dad look
at me
Think back an
d talk to me
Did I grow up
according to p
lan?
And do you thi
nk I'm wasting
my time doing
things I wann
a do?
But it hurts w
hen you disapp
rove all along
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And now I try
hard to make i
t
I just want to
make you p
roud
I'm never gonn
a be good enou
gh for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't
change me
[Chorus]
(slow strum or picking)
'Cuz we lost i
t all
Nothing lasts
forever
I'm sorry
I can't be per
fect
Now it's just
too late and
We can't go ba
ck
I'm sorry
I can't be per
fect
(Fast intro only go through chords once instead of twice)
I try not to t
hink
About the pai
n I feel insid
e
Did you know y
ou used to be
my hero?
All the days y
ou spent with
me
Now seem so f
ar away
And it feels l
ike you don't
care anymore
And now I try
hard to make i
t
I just want to
make you p
roud
I'm never gonn
a be good enou
gh for you
I can't stand
another fight
And nothing's
alright
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Nothing's gonn
a change the t
hings that you
said*
Nothing's gonn
a make this ri
ght again**
Please don't t
urn your back
I can't believ
e it's hard
Just to talk t
o you
But you don't
understand (
strum once wit
h G and let it
ring)
::Slow intro. Second time through the chords, build to chorus::
::Chorus 2x::
(On the last line strum once on G ['perfect'] and let it ring to end the song nicely)
*(mute with your left hand and strum for four beats(6 up and down strums.
going back to forming the next chord on 7 and 8.) if you like but on acoustic it sounds better
without)
**(same as above)
