[Verse 1]
C
When I was just a kid
F
I couldn't wait till I grew up
C
Tried walking in your shoes
F
But couldn't even tie them up
Am F C
No matter how big and tall I grew
Am F
I was always looking up to you
[Chorus]
Am F C C/B
You showed me that I was just a diamond in the rough
Am F C C/B
You helped me to grow into the man that I've become
Am F
We've been down, we've been up
C C/B
I hope I've made you proud enough
Em Am F C
You make it look easy even when I'm hard to love
[Solo]
C C/B Am
Am Em C
C C/B Am
[Verse 2]
C
When I dropped out of school
F
You told me that my time was up
C
I was a rebel with a cause
F
Just didn't know quite what it was
Am F C
So I got a job that barely paid
Am F
You said you did the same thing at my age
[Chorus]
Am F C C/B
You showed me that I was just a diamond in the rough
Am F C C/B
You helped me to grow into the man that I've become
Am F
We've been down, we've been up
C C/B
I hope I've made you proud enough
Em Am F C
You make it look easy even when I'm hard to love
Am F
We've been down, we've been up
C C/B
I hope I've made you proud enough
Em Am F C
You make it look easy even when I'm hard to love
[Outro]

F C
Even when I'm hard to love
