G5
[Verse 1]
G C/E F6
Maybe I make things a mess
Dm6 Eb G
And maybe you're right to have doubts in me
G C/E F6
Maybe, but nevertheless
Fm C/E
If you for once could just trust me
Eb G/D
Just this once let me come through for you
D
The way that you want me to
[Chorus]
G G/F
Let me make you proud
C/E Cm/Eb
Let me show you the best in me
G/D Cm
Let me give you a reason to believe that I can stand tall
D G G/F
And when I return
C/E Cm/Eb
And I'm more than you dreamt I'd be
Eb F Eb F G5
Maybe then you will realize that you never actually knew me at all
[Instrumental]
G C/E F6 Dm6 Eb G
[Verse 2]
G C/E F6
Sure, I've made lots of mistakes
Dm6 Eb G
I know that I've disappointed you
G C/E F6
Still, though, whatever it takes
C/E
I'm gonna fix it, just watch me
Eb G/D
Just you wait, I'll make it up to you
D
If it's the last thing I ever do
[Chorus]
F Bb Bb/Ab
I will make you proud
Eb/G Ebm/Gb
I will make you have faith in me
Bb/F Ebm6
I will prove that the way I used to be is all in the past
Bb Bb/Ab
I will save the day
Eb/G Ebm/Gb
And come back here triumphantly
Gb
'Cause I long for that look of
Ab/Gb Gb Ab/Gb Gm Bb7
surprise when you see your son rising at last
Eb Bb/D Cm7 F Gb Ab/Gb Bb5
The pride in your eyes when you see your son rising at last
