[Verse 1]

   G

Hey Dad look at me

Think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according

To plan?

Do you think I’m wasting my time

Doing things I wanna do?

But it hurts when you

                C

Disapprove all along

 

[Pre-chorus]

        Am

And now I try hard to make it

C                         G

I just want to make you proud

I’m never gonna be good

Enough for you
