here's perfect. now here's the catch (there's always a catch): it's not exactly "perfect"
but it's close enough for me. it sounds good,i think that should count for something.
i am POSITIVE on the intro/verse riff, but thebridge is a little shaky. sounds good though!
try it:
TUNE 6TH STRING DOWN HALF A STEP... trust me on this
e
B
G
D
A
Eb - should sound like 5th string 6th fret, but an octave lower.

"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 not hard at
all. -shrugs- try it and judge for yourself.

go immediately back into verse...
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/simple_plan/perfectwhole_tab.html ]
"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.

there it is. my almost perfect Perfect. it's an awesome song. kinda gives you an idea that
you're not the only one in this world who's parents think they're perfect. don't do
anything stupid guys. you'll regret it.
