Perfect Simple Plan
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)
D,A,D(hammer on 4th finger),G,A. Fast
(continuous strumming) It's the same just contious strumming. The chords 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::
[D] Hey dad look at me
[A] Think back and talk to me
Did I [Em]grow up according to [G]plan?
And do you t[D]hink I'm wasting my time [A]doing things I wanna do?
But it [Em]hurts when you disapprove all [G]along
::Pre-Chorus 1::
And now [Em]I try hard to make it
[G]I just want to make you [D] proud
I'm [Em]never gonna be good enough for [G]you
I can't pretend that
I'm a[A]lright
And [G]you can't change me
::Chorus::
(slow strum or picking)
'Cuz we [D]lost it all
Nothing [A]lasts forever
I'm s[Em]orry
I [Em]can't be [G]perfect
Now it's j[D]ust too late and
We [A]can't go back
I'm [Em]sorry
I c[Em]an't be p[G]erfect
(Fast intro only go through chords once instead of twice)
[D]I try not to think
[A] About the pain I feel inside
Did you [Em]know you used to be my [G]hero?
All the [D]days you spent with me
[A] Now seem so far away
And it [Em]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
I'm [Em]never gonna be good enough for [G]you
I can't stand another [A]fight
And [G]nothing's alright
::Chorus::
::Bridge::
[D]Nothing's gonna change the [A]things that you said*
[Em]Nothing's gonna make this[G] right again**
[D]Please don't turn your back
I [A]can't believe it's hard
Just to [Em]talk to you
But you don't [G]understand (strum once with 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)
