[Intro] |D / / /| [Verse 1]
   D
[tab]          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, all the harder it becomes

                       D
And I feel like giving up

F#m        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 try to prove

        G
All the less I have to show

                     D
And I'm stuck inside my head

F#m         G
Most of the time
[Pre-Chorus]
            Em
But, If I pray a little harder

     A
If I follow all the rules

  Em                     A
I wonder could I ever be enough
[Chorus]
         D         F#m
Cause 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                  D
Maybe hope is found in a melody

     Bm    A    G
So I wanna try again

      Bm        A    G
Oh, I'm gonna try again
[Verse 3]
         D
And Dear child,

           F#m                             G
I hope you know how much I love you and I'm proud of you

             D
And please believe

    F#m                                  G
The thoughts I have for you will never change or fade away

                               D
And when you felt like giving up

F#m      G
I never did
[Pre-Chorus]
               Em
'Cause I'm not scared of imperfections

        A
Or the questions in your head

      Em                              A
Just know that you have always been enough
[Chorus]
           D         F#m
'Cause you tried and 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

     G
I'll meet you here in the melody

   Bm          A    G
try just to try again

   Bm              A    G
Oh child would you try again?

   Bm            A     D
My child you can love again
