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