verse 1
BbmBbm
Dear Me ...
     GbGb       DbDb      AbAb
This is a letter to the girl I used to be
BbmBbm
Dear Me ...
      GbGb             DbDb AbAb
There are some things that you should know
BbmBbm           GbGb  DbDb     AbAb
It's not my intention to embarrass or to shame you
    BbmBbm           GbGb      DbDb   AbAb
What's inside the rear-view mirror is closer than it appears
BbmBbm         GbGb       DbDb           AbAb
We do the best that we know how, with what we have been given
 BbmBbm            GbGb        DbDb      AbAb
And the difference between you and I is, I've been given time
BbmBbm  GbGb     DbDb
In time, you'll see

BbmBbm GbGb DbDb AbAb BbmBbm GbGb DbDb

verse 2
BbmBbm
Dear Me ?
       GbGb     DbDb     AbAb
This is a letter to the girl I used to be
BbmBbm            GbGb      DbDb AbAb
Some things are not as simple as we said
BbmBbm        GbGb          DbDb        AbAb     BbmBbm
Remember when we thought there were a handful of some magic words to pray
GbGb            DbDb      AbAb
A augmentedA guarantee and a down payment on a mansion
BbmBbm              DbDb         AbAb
Remember all the rules we made about the Body and the Blood
BbmBbm          GbGb
The hoops we made them jump through.
DbDb       AbAb    BbmBbm
Though He offers it to everyone
GbGb    DbDb
I'm so sorry

BbmBbm           GbGb    DbDb          AbAb
Do you remember now the things I said I thought that I deserved
BbmBbm      GbGb
My flag, and safety, a place to learn
DbDb
The things I know I didn't earn
BbmBbm            GbGb
And bless their hearts, I'm sure it's hard
DbDb
But handouts don't help anyone
AbAb       BbmBbm     GbGb
And all the talk about the system
DbDb     AbAb         BbmBbm
I sure hope someone can fix them
GbGb    DbDb
I said those things

verse 3
C minorCm
Dear Me ?
       AbAb    Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
This is a letter to the girl I used to be
Cn            AbAb      Eb MajorEb
You'll see, you're gonna take the long way
Bb majorBb  C minorCm        AbAb       Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
And there is nothing you could do or say to separate you
Bb majorBb    C minorCm      AbAb              Bb majorBb
From the love of God who made you just exactly as He meant to
  C minorCm      AbAb        Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb
And you cannot imagine all the places you'll see Jesus
     C minorCm       AbAb           Eb MajorEb
But you'll find Him everywhere you thought He wasn't supposed to go
So, go!.. Go!..

   Eb MajorEb
And hold all the mothers, whose babies bleed from bullet holes
   AbAb
And feel all the hunger, the bellies and the bones
C minorCm
Shout for the prisoner, cry for justice, loud and long
AbAb
And march with the victims, as Jesus marches on
Eb MajorEb                F minorFm
And sit at all the tables, 'cause Jesus eats with everyone
G minorGm             AbAb
And dance to the music, if you can't sing its native tongue
C minorCm           G minorGm
And cry for the wombs, the mothers and the empty arms
AbAb
And hold high the warriors, fighting now for freedoms' song

Bridge
Eb MajorEb
And love, love, love, love
Like it's your own blood
AbAb
And love, love, love, love
As you have been loved
Bb majorBb  C minorCm
Love, love, love, love
Like it's your own blood
G minorGm
Love, love, love, love
As you have been loved
Eb MajorEb
Love, love, love, love, love
G minorGm
Like you have been?
AbAb
Love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love!
C minorCm
Love, love, love, love, love
G minorGm     AbAb
His name is love
Love, love, love, love, love

verse 4
C minorCm
Dear Me ?
       AbAb       Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
You did not learn this in a day or two or three
C minorCm       AbAb Eb MajorEb  Bb majorBb
So ask a lot of questions
C minorCm     AbAb    Eb MajorEb   Bb majorBb
But Jesus loves us, this I know
C minorCm         AbAb
And there are no exceptions
