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
