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