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