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

And do you thi

              
nk I'm wasting

 things I wann

a do?
            
But it hurts w

[Pre-Chorus 1]

        
And now I try 

hard to make i

t
             
I just want to

roud
            
I'm never gonn

              
a be good enou

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)

 About the pai

All the days y

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

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)
