Intro:
|D / / /|


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


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


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


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


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


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


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