Intro:

Am7  C  Fmaj7     Am7  C  Fmaj7
 
 
Verse 1:
Am7         C
God knows I try to be a good friend
Fmaj7
But sometimes I take more than I can give
Am7         C
God knows I try to call my parents
   Fmaj7
As much as I would call them
Fmaj7
When I was still in college
 
 
Verse 2:
Am7             C                     Fmaj7
And God knows I try to take it on the chin
Fmaj7
God knows I wish I had thicker skin
Am7           C
And I keep on letting it sink in
Fmaj7
When they throw their two cents in, but

Chorus:
Am7  C        Fmaj7                         Am7
 If I get high, that don’t mean I ain’t ladylike
      C       Fmaj7                     G     Am7
When I mess up, that don’t mean I ain’t good enough
         C                  Fmaj7                   G
Yeah, my past is checkered, nobody’s got a spotless record
Am7  C          Fmaj7                Am7  C  Fmaj7
 So I sleep fine 'cause God knows I try
 
 
Verse 3:
Am7             C
I still say yes when I should say no
Fmaj7
There I go, collecting dust on all my Sunday clothes
Am7                   C
Writing down every misstep in my portfolio
Fmaj7                                  Am7
Try to make me hate myself, but God knows
 
 
Chorus:
    C        Fmaj7                         Am7
If I get high, that don’t mean I ain’t ladylike
      C       Fmaj7                     G     Am7
When I mess up, that don’t mean I ain’t good enough
         C                  Fmaj7                   G
Yeah, my past is checkered, nobody’s got a spotless record
Am7  C          Fmaj7                Am7  C  Fmaj7
 So I sleep fine 'cause God knows I try

God Knows
      Fmaj7
God Knows
 
 
Bridge:
        Am7                      C

           F                                        G
Yeah, they want a little less but I’m always giving more
       Am7                         C
Try to be put together but I’m the mess that He made
     Fmaj7                              Am7
Just doing my best here, for heaven’s sake

When I mess up, that don’t mean I ain’t good enough
         C                  Fmaj7                   G
Yeah, my past is checkered, nobody’s got a spotless record
