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
