EMPIRE CAST – Good Enough

This song is from the album Empire: Music From the Pilot(2015), released on Jan 06, 2015.
I loved the vibe of this song. The accapella intro and the 808 rhythm added a nice effect to the song. The vocals by Jussie Smollett were amazing. The background vocals on the chorus made it feel like you were listening to Justin Timberlake’s Mirror, but the rest of the song felt really tight and interesting. Thanks to Lovic for this song suggestion.

[INTRO] Gm Bb F Eb
[VERSE]
           Gm
I gave you all of me
Bb                   F                   Eb
But it still ain't enough to make you happy
                 Gm
I gave you everything
   Bb             F   Eb
It still don't measure up
                 Gm
It feels like I walked 5 thousand miles
    Bb                  F  Eb
And didn't even come close
              Gm
Feels like I try to make you smile
Bb                       F Eb
But you don't even care, no

[PRE-CHORUS]
Gm              Bb                     F
I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
            Eb
But I keep trying
Gm                    Bb                     F
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
Eb
What do I got to do?

[CHORUS]
Gm Bb                 F
I just want you to look at me
    Eb                            Gm
And see that I can be worth your love
Bb                          F
I just want you to look at me
     Eb
And see that I can be
Gm           Bb
Good enough, good enough
F          Eb
Good enough

[INSTRUMENTAL] Gm Bb F Eb x2

[VERSE]
            Gm
I try to show you that I'm strong
Bb              F Eb
Why do I even bother?
               Gm
Cause it's the same old damn song
Bb                        F Eb
And you call yourself a father
               Gm                 Bb
Feels like I'm reaching for the stars
                   F       Eb
But heaven isn't letting me
            Gm              Bb
I wish that I had longer arms
                      F            Eb
But I know that will never be never be

[PRE-CHORUS]
Gm              Bb                     F
I'll never be big enough to pay your dues
            Eb
But I keep trying
Gm                    Bb                     F
And you just keep on making me jump through hoops
Eb
What do I got to do?

[CHORUS]
Gm Bb                 F
I just want you to look at me
    Eb                            Gm
And see that I can be worth your love
Bb                          F
I just want you to look at me
     Eb
And see that I can be
Gm           Bb
Good enough, good enough
F          Eb
Good enough
