[Verse 1]
Eb
Dear God -
Gm
I’ve been trying awful hard
Ab
To make You proud of me
Eb
But it seems
Gm
The harder that I try,
Ab
Oh the harder it becomes
Eb
And I feel like giving up
Gm          Ab
Most of the time

[Verse 2]
Eb
Dear God -
Gm
I’ve been chasing their approval
Ab
And it’s killing me
Eb
And I know
Gm
The more I to try to prove
Ab
The less I have to show
Eb
And I’m stuck inside my head
Gm          Ab
Most of the time

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fm
But, If I pray a little harder
Bb
If I follow all the rules
Fm                     Bb
I wonder could I ever be enough

[Chorus 1]
Eb        Gm
Cause I try and I try
Ab              Eb
Just to fall back down again
Eb         Gm
And I ask myself why
Ab               Eb
Do I try to chase the wind
Cm            Bb
I should lean into the mystery
Ab                 Bb
Maybe hope is found in a melody
Cm      Bb   Ab
So I wanna try again
Cm        Bb   Ab
Oh, I’m gonna try again

[Verse 3]
Eb
Dear child,
Gm
I hope you know how much I love you
Ab
and I’m proud of you
Eb
Please believe
Gm
The thoughts I have for you
Ab
Will never change or fade away
Eb
And when you felt like giving up
Gm      Ab
I never did

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fm
I’m not scared of imperfections
Bb
Or the questions in your head
Fm
Just know that you have
Bb
always been enough

[Chorus 2]
Eb        Gm
You tried and tried
Ab              Eb
And I saw you wrestle with
Eb         Gm
Every how, every why
Ab         Eb
I was right there listening
Cm            Bb
So just fall into the mystery
Ab                     Eb
I’ll meet you here in the melody
Cm          Bb   Ab
Try just to try again
Cm              Bb   Ab
Oh child would you try again
Cm            Bb    Eb
My child you can love again
