Intro:
|D MajorD / / /|


Verse 1:
  D MajorD
Dear God,
     F# minorF#m            G+G
I’ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
    D MajorD
But it seems
  F# minorF#m           G+G
The harder that I try the harder it becomes
            D MajorD
And I feel like giving up
D/F#D/F#    G+G
Most of the time

Verse 2:
  D MajorD
Dear God,
     F# minorF#m            G+G
I’ve been chasing their approval and it’s killing me
   D MajorD
And I know
  F# minorF#m
The more I to try to prove
  G+G
The less I have to show
           D MajorD
And I’m stuck inside my head
F# minorF#m     G+G
Most of the time


Pre-Chorus:
   B minorBm
If I pray a little harder
   A4
If I follow all the rules
 B minorBm           A augmentedA
I wonder could I ever be enough


Chorus:
 D MajorD     F# minorF#m
I try and I try
    G+G        D MajorD
Just to fall back down again
         F# minorF#m
And I ask myself why
   G+G        D MajorD
Do I try to chase the wind
     B minorBm      A augmentedA
I should lean into the mystery
   G+G         A augmentedA
Maybe hope is found in a melody
   B minorBm  A augmentedA  G+G
So I wanna try again
   B minorBm    A augmentedA  G+G
Yeah, I’m gonna try again

Verse 3:
   D MajorD
Dear child,
      F# minorF#m             G+G
I hope you know how much I love you and I’m proud of you
     D MajorD
Please believe
  F# minorF#m                G+G
The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
             D MajorD
When you felt like giving up
         G+G
I was there all alone


Pre-Chorus:
    B minorBm
I’m not scared of imperfections
         A augmentedA
Or the questions in your head
        B minorBm          A augmentedA
Just know that you have always been enough


Chorus:
  D MajorD       F# minorF#m
You tried and you tried
   G+G        D MajorD
And I saw you wrestle with
         F# minorF#m
Every how, every why...
   G+G      D MajorD
I was right there listening
    B minorBm      A augmentedA
So just fall into the mystery
   D MajorD
I’ll meet you in the melody
     B minorBm     A augmentedA  G+G
So please try just to try again
  B minorBm       A augmentedA  G+G
So child would you try again
  B minorBm      A augmentedA   D MajorD
My child you can love again
