Dear God Chords

[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse 1]
    C
Dear God,
         Em                            Fadd9
I’ve been trying awful hard to make You proud of me
       C
But it seems
    Em                    Fadd9
The harder that I try the harder it becomes
                       C
And I feel like giving up
Em          Fadd9
Most of the time
 
 
[Verse 2]
    C
Dear God,
         Em                             Fadd9
I’ve been chasing their approval and it’s killing me
      C
And I know
    Em
The more I to try to prove
    Fadd9
The less I have to show
                      C
And I’m stuck inside my head
Em          Fadd9
Most of the time
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
         Am
But if I pray a little harder
     G4
If I follow all the rules
  Am                      G
I wonder could I ever be enough
 
 
[Chorus]
        C       Em
Cause I try and try
        Fadd9           C
Just to fall back down again
      C          Em
And I ask myself why
     F                C
Do I try to chase the wind
         Am            G
I should lean into the mystery
      Fadd9              G
Maybe hope is found in a melody
   Am      G    Fadd9
So I wanna try again
    Am        G    Fadd9
Oh, I’m gonna try again
 
 
[Verse 3]
    C
Dear child,
           Em                              Fadd9
I hope you know how much I love you and I’m proud of you
         C
Please believe
    Em                                 Fadd9
The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away
                          C
When you felt like giving up
Em      Fadd9
I never did
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        Am
I’m not scared of imperfections
       G4
Or the questions in your head
     Am                              G
Just know that you have always been enough
 
 
[Chorus]
          C         Em
Cause You tried and tried
      Fadd9           C
And I saw you wrestle with
      C          Em
Every how, every why...
      Fadd9             C
I was right there listening
        Am            G
So just fall into the mystery
     Fadd9           C
I’ll meet you in the melody
Am          G    Fadd9
Try just to try again
   Am              G    Fadd9
Oh child would you try again
   Am            G     C
My child you can love again
