[Em]Dear God[C]God, please[G]please hear me out
I [D]know it's been a couple years [Em]
Since I've[C]I've reached[G]reached out and said hello [D]
I bet you're wondering[Em]wondering why [C]I keep [G]
Obsessing on and [D]stressing all the little things [Em]
When I[C]I should be[G]be living life and [D]soaking up the memories [Em]
I know [C]I've been selfish, [G]I have

I got some[G]some phone calls I've been avoiding
Some fam[D]family members I don't really connect with
Some things I [Em]said, I wish I woulda not let slip
Some hurt[C]hurtful words that never shoulda left my lips
Some [G]Bridges burned, I'm not ready to rebuild yet
Some inse[D]insecurities I haven't dealt with, yes
I'll be the [Em]first to admit that I'm a lonely soul
And the [C]last to admit I need a hand to hold
Lo[G]Losing hope, heading down a dangerous road
Strange, [D]I know, but I feel most at home when I'm— [Em]
