Dear God

Dear God
Dear God
| Eb / / / | Eb / / / | 
Verse 1
Dear
Eb 
God, I’ve been
Gm7 
trying awful hard
To make You
Ab 
proud of me
But it
Eb 
seems the
Gm7 
harder that I try, the
Ab 
harder it becomes
And I feel like giving
Eb 
up
Gm7 
Most of the
Ab 
time
Verse 2
Dear
Eb 
God, I’ve been
Gm7 
chasing their approval
And it’s
Ab 
killing me
And I
Eb 
know the
Gm7 
more I try to prove the
And I’m stuck inside
Eb 
my head
Gm7 
Most of the
Eb 
time
Pre-Chorus
But if I
Fm 
pray a little harder
If I
Bb 
follow all the rules
I
Fm 
wonder could I ever be
Bb 
enough
Chorus
‘Cause I
Eb 
try and
Gm7 
try
Just to
Ab 
fall back down
Eb 
again
And I
Eb 
ask myself
Gm7 
why
Do I
Ab 
try to chase the
Eb 
wind
I should
Cm 
lean into the
Bb 
mystery
Maybe
Ab 
hope is found in a
Eb 
melody
So I
Cm 
wanna
Bb 
try
Ab 
again
Oh,
Cm 
I’m gonna
Bb 
try
Ab 
again
Verse 3
Dear
Eb 
child, I hope you
Gm7 
know how much I love you
And I’m
Ab 
proud of you
Please
Eb 
believe the
Gm7 
thoughts I have for you
Will never
Ab 
change or fade away
When you felt like giving
Eb 
up
I
Gm7 
never
Ab 
did
Pre Chorus 2
I’m not
Fm 
scared of imperfections
Or the qu
Bb 
estions in your head
Just
Fm 
know that you have always been
Bb 
enough
Chorus 2
‘Cause you
Eb 
tried and
Gm7 
tried
And I
Ab 
saw you wrestle
Eb 
with
Every
Eb 
how, every
Gm7 
why
I was
Ab 
right there
Eb 
listening
So just
Cm 
fall into the
Bb 
mystery
And I’ll
Ab 
meet you here in the
Eb 
melody
Cm 
Try just to
Bb 
try
Ab 
again
Oh
Cm 
child would you
Bb 
try
Ab 
again
My
Cm 
child you can
Bb 
love
Ab 
again
