[Verse 1]
D
Dear God,
F#m G
I’ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
D
But it seems
F#m G
The harder that I try, all the harder it becomes
D
And I feel like giving up
F#m G
Most of the time
[Verse 2]
D
Dear God,
F#m G
I’ve been chasing their approval and it’s killing me
D
And I know
F#m
The more I try to prove
G
All the less I have to show
D
And I’m stuck inside my head
F#m G
Most of the time
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
But, If I pray a little harder
A
If I follow all the rules
Em A
I wonder could I ever be enough
[Chorus]
D F#m
Cause I try and I try
G D
Just to fall back down again
F#m
And I ask myself why
G D
Do I try to chase the wind
Bm A
I should lean into the mystery
G D
Maybe hope is found in a melody
Bm A G
So I wanna try again
Bm A G
Oh, I’m gonna try again
[Verse 3]
D
And Dear child,
F#m G
I hope you know how much I love you and I’m proud of you
D
And please believe
F#m G
The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
D
And when you felt like giving up
F#m G
I never did
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
'Cause I’m not scared of imperfections
A
Or the questions in your head
Em A
Just know that you have always been enough
[Chorus]
D F#m
'Cause you tried and tried
G D
And I saw you wrestle with
F#m
Every how, every why...
G D
I was right there listening
Bm A
So just fall into the mystery
G
I’ll meet you here in the melody
Bm A G
try just to try again
Bm A G
Oh child would you try again?
Bm A D
My child you can love again
