[Intro] C
C
Dear God
Em F
I’ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
C
But it seems
Em F
The harder that I try the harder it becomes
Am
And I feel like giving up
G F
Most of the time
C
Dear God
Em F
I’ve been chasing their approval and it’s killing me
C
And I know
Em
The more I try to prove
F
The less I have to show
Am
And I’m stuck inside my head
G F
Most of the time
Dm
If I pray a little harder
G
If I follow all the rules
Dm G
I wonder could I ever be enough
C G
I try and I try
F C
Just to fall back down again
Em G
And I ask myself why
F C
Do I try to chase the wind
Am G
I just lean into the mystery
F C
Maybe hope is found in a melody
Am G F C
So I wanna try again
Am G F
Yeah, I’m gonna try again
C
Dear child
Em F
I hope you know how much I love you and I’m proud of you
C
Please believe
Em F
The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
Am
When you felt like giving up
G F
I was there all along
Dm
I’m not scared of imperfections
G
Or the questions in your head
Dm G
Just know that you have always been enough
C G
You tried and you tried
F C
And I saw your wrestle with
Am G
Every how, every why
F C
I was right there listening
Am G
So just fall into the mystery
F C
I’ll meet you in the melody
Am G F
So please try just to try again
Am G F
So child would you try again
Am G F
My child you can love again
Final G F Am G F
