17 chords by Chris Renzema

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

NOTE: The Dadd11 throughout the song is technically a Dadd9add11. It should be played like a C/G shape two
frets up. If you wish, you can also play every Dadd11 as a regular D chord to make the song easier as well.

Verse 1:
G
 Here I am, confessing again
 C
I know I've let You down
G
 I've said it a thousand times
  C
Never again starts now
G
 I've slept through so many days
     C
I've wasted so much time
G

 Can't solve it with a song
      C
Can't fix it with a rhyme


Chorus:
        Dadd11
So I'll try
      Em            C
To be honest with myself
 Dadd11
Again
          Em             C                 Dadd11
But I can feel just so uncomfortable in my skin
        Em               C
No, You told me that You love me
                  Dadd11
But I don't remember when
   Em    C
Oh-oh-oh-oh


Verse 2:
G                                   C
 Feel like I was so much wiser when I was 17
G
 Saw the world in just two shades
        C
 Didn't stand in the in-between
G                               C
 If the man I was back then saw who I am right now
G                                  C
 Wonder if he'd be disappointed in how he would turn out


Chorus:
        Dadd11
So I'll try
      Em            C
To be honest with myself
 Dadd11
Again
          Em             C              Dadd11
But I can feel just so uncomfortable in my skin
        Em               C
No, You told me that You love me
                  Dadd11
But I don't remember when
   Em    C     Dadd11
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
   Em    C
Oh-oh-oh-oh


Bridge:

But I hear You say
 Dadd11      Em             C          Dadd11
"Child, stop listening to yourself so much
       Em                 C            Dadd11
I have made you more than worthy of My love
        Em                        C
You are fearfully and wonderfully made
           Dadd11
And that's enough"
   Em    C
Whoa-oa-oa-oa
       Dadd11
"Whoa, child
             Em                C          Dadd11
If you could see yourself the way that I do
            Em                  C                 Dadd11
You'd see I made you in My image and My work's not through
           Em               C
Oh, we'll dance on his disappointment
              Dadd11
In a world made new"
  Em     C
Whoa-oa-oa

Outro:
    Dadd11                 Em
Oh, I know your heart is tired
                   C
The floods and the fire
                    G           Dadd11
Have made this seem all too far gone
    Dadd11                Em
Oh, I know your heart is broken
                         C
But the last words I've spoken
            G            D
The best is still yet to come

    Dadd11                 Em
Oh, I know your heart is tired
                   C
The floods and the fire
                    G           Dadd11
Have made this seem all too far gone
    Dadd11                Em
Oh, I know your heart is broken
                         C
But the last words I've spoken
            G            D
The best is still yet to come

Dadd11  Em C G
