Dear God

D                   F#m              
Dear God, I’ve been trying awful hard
            G
To make You proud of me
       D         F#m               
But it seems the harder that I try
        G
All the harder it becomes
                       D
And I feel like giving up
F#m         G
Most of the time
 
D                   F#m
Dear God, I’ve been chasing their approval
         G
And it’s killing me
      D        F#m
And I know 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
 
          Em
But, If I pray a little harder
     A
If I follow all the rules
  Em                      A
I wonder could I ever be enough
        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
 
         D                 F#m                 
And Dear child, I hope you know how much I love
            G
You and I’m proud of you
             D
And please believe
    F#m
The thoughts I have for youy
            G
Will never change or fade away
                              D
And when you felt like giving up
F#m     G
I never did
 
               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
 
           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
