[Intro]
F

[Verse 1]
F
I guess I took it for granted
You'd bury me someday
        Dm
All the big plans that I planted
While you planned your own escape
      F
Never thought I was the greatest
But I was great for you
     Dm
Just assumed I was your favorite
With no one else to choose

[Pre-Chorus]
  Bb
I try to kiss your face,
    F
you turn away
C                         Dm
No one ever taught me the protocol
Bb                    F
What do you do when the
                       C
good guys change their mind?

[Chorus]
         F       C/E        Dm
'Cause I used to think that if
     C     Bb              C
I tried my best I'd always win
F            C/E     Dm        C
But I'll sit in your favorite dress
    Bb      C            F
and ask you where you've been
F      C/E         Dm     C
People don't lеave people if
     Bb            C
thеy really are in love
F C/E  Dm   C   Bb           F
I was good just wasn't good enough
F C/E  Dm   C   Bb     C      F
I was good just wasn't good enough

[Verse 2]
           F
There were four eyes in the garden
Two cried but two looked down
         Dm
Now you're asking for a pardon
'Cause I'm a good time pound
for pound
        F
And you say this was a hard one
But lately you felt stuck
     Dm
And I thought I was first place
But I was runner up

[Pre-Chorus]
  Bb
I try to kiss your face,
    F
you turn away
C                         Dm
No one ever taught me the protocol
Bb                    F
What do you do when the good
                  C
guys change their mind?

[Chorus]

I tried my best I'd always win
F            C/E     Dm        C
But I'll sit in your favorite dress
    Bb      C           F
and ask you where you've been
F      C/E         Dm     C
People don't lеave people if

thеy really are in love

[Bridge]
                   Bb   F
I never said I was perfect
            C                  Dm
Just thought I was perfect for you
             Bb     F
But all that worthless
                        C
'Cause if I couldn't be one,
                   Dm
I wouldn't ever be two
                  Bb   F
Thought I was the way home,
             C           Dm
but I was an obstacle to move
                   Bb   F
I never said I was perfect
     C
Like you

[Chorus]
         F       C/E        Dm
'Cause I used to think that if
     C     Bb              C
I tried my best I'd always win
F            C/E     Dm
But I'll sit in your favorite
 C        Bb     C          F
dress and wonder how you've been
F      C/E         Dm     C
And did you ever mean it when
    Bb       C       Dm
you said you were in love?
F C/E  Dm   C   Bb           F
I was good just wasn't good enough
F C/E  Dm   C   Bb     C    Dm
I was good just wasn't good enough


[Outro]
F C/E  Dm   C   Bb     C      F
I was good just wasn't good enough

How to play Good Enough: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Good Enough by Maisie Peters on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Good Enough by Maisie Peters is centred on F major (one flat: B♭). The song uses 5 chords: F, Dm, Bb, C and C/E.

Listen for F – C/E – Dm – C (I – V – vi – V in F major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is doh – soh – lah – soh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 3rd fret and play the shapes D, Bm, G, A (75% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
