Dear [Am]Me This is a

[Verse 1]
[F]
letter to [C]the girl I used [G]to be
Dear [Am]Me
There are [F]some things that you
should [C]know[G]
[Am]It's not my inten[F]tion to embar
[C]rass or [G]to shame you
What's in[Am]side the rear- view mir
[F]ror [C]is closer than it ap[G]pears
We [Am]do the best that we k[F]now how,
[C]with what we have [G]been given
And the dif[Am]ference between [F]you and I is,
[C]I've been given [G]time
[Am]In t[F]ime, you'll se[C]e[Am]
[F][C][G][Am][F][C]

[Verse 2]
Dear [Am]Me
This is a [F]letter to [C]the girl I used [G]to be
Some [Am]things are not [F]as simple
as we [C]said[G]
[Am]Re member when we th[F]ought there were a[C] hand
ful of some ma[G]gic words [Am]to pray
A guaran[F]tee and a down
pay[C]ment on a man[G]sion
Re[Am]member all [F]the rules we made
[C]about the Body [G]and the Blood
The [Am]hoops we made them
jump [F]through
Though He of[C]fers it [G]to everyone[Am]
I'm [F]so [C]sorry
Do [Am]you remember now

[Verse 3]
[F]the things I s[C]aid
I thought that [G]I deserved
[Am]My flag, and safety, a [F]place to learn
The things [C]I know I didn't [G]earn
And [Am]bless their hearts, [F]I'm sure it's hard
But [C]handouts don't help [G]anyone
[Am]And all the talk [F]about the system
[C]I sure hope [G]someone can fix [Am]them
[F]I said tho[C]se things

Dear [Bm]Me This is a

[Verse 4]
[G]
letter to [D]the girl I used [A]to be
You'll [Bm]see, you're gonna
[G]take the long [D]way[A]
And [Bm]there is nothing [G]you could do
[D]or say to separate [A]you
From the love of [Bm]God who m[G]ade you
just exactly [D]as He [A]meant to
And [Bm]you cannot ima[G]gine all t[D]he places
you'll see Jesus
[A]But you'll [Bm]find [G]Him everywhere you thought
He was[D]n't supposed to [A]go
So, [G]go, go

[Verse 5]
[D]And hold all the mothers,
whose babies bleed from bullet holes
And [G]feel all the hunger,
the bellies, and the bones
[A]Sho[Bm]ut for the prisoner,
cry for justice, loud [G]and long
And march with the victims,
as Jesus marches on
[D]And sit at all the tables,
'cause [Em]Je sus eats with everyone
And [D]dance to the music,
if you [G]can't sing its native tongue
And [Bm]cry for the wombs,
the [F#m]mothers [D]and the empty arms
[G]And hold high the warriors,
fighting now for freedoms' song

[Verse 6]
And [D]love, love, love, love
Like it's your own blood
And [G]love, love, love, love
As you have [D]been loved[A]
[Bm]Love, love, love, love
Like it's your own [F#m]blood
[G]Love, love, love, love
As you have been loved
[D]Love, love, love, love, love
Like (you have been?)
Love, [G]love, love, love, love
It's all about [D]love!
[Bm]Love, love, love, love, love
[F#m]His name is love
[G]Love, love, love, love, love

[Verse 7]
[G]
Dear [Bm]Me
You did not [G]learn this in a
[D]day or two or [A]three[Bm]
So ask [G]a lot o[D]f questions[A]
But [Bm]Jesus [G]loves us, [D]this I [A]know
[Bm]And there are no e[G]xceptions
