D Bm A G

[Verse]
D
Dear younger me
D
Where do I start
   Bm               A               G
If I could tell you everything that I have learned so far
             D
Then you could be
D
One step ahead
   Bm               A               G
Of all the painful memories still running thru my head
     A               Bm      G
I wonder how much different things would be
             D
Dear younger me,

[Instrumental]
D Bm A G


              D
Dear younger me
      D
I cannot decide
   Bm               A               G
Do I give some speech about how to get the most out of your life
           D
Or do I go deep
     D
And try to change
     Bm                 A                G
The choices that you’ll make cuz they’re choices that made me
A              Bm            G
And even though I love this crazy life
      A              Bm           G
Sometimes I wish it was a smoother ride
            D                 Bm A G
Dear younger me, dear younger me

[Instrumental]
Em D A x2


Em                  D
Oh if I knew then what I know now
A
Condemnation would’ve had no power
   Em                  D             A
My joy my pain would’ve never been my worth
Em                  D
If I knew then what I know now
           A
Would’ve not been hard to figure out
     G                     A
What I would’ve changed if I had heard


D
Dear younger me
     D
It’s not your fault
Bm                         A         G
You were never meant to carry this beyond the cross, Lord
              D    Bm A G
Dear younger me

[Bridge]
          D
You are holy
          D
You are righteous
          D
You are one of the redeemed
     Bm
Set apart a brand new heart
G
Oh you are free indeed
         D
And every mountain every valley
D
Thru each heartache you will see
       Bm
Every moment brings you closer
A       G
To who you were meant to be
             D                Bm A G
Dear younger me, dear younger me

         D
You are holy
D
You are righteous
D
You are one of the redeemed
     Bm
Set apart a brand new heart
G               D
Oh you are free indeed [x3]
