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