[Verse 1]
Bbm
Dear Me ...
          Gb              Db      
This is a letter to the girl I 
      Ab
used to be
Bbm
Dear Me ...
           Gb                 
There are some things that you 
         Db  Ab
should know
Bbm                      Gb    
It's not my intention to 
Db         Ab
embarrass or to shame you
       Bbm                      Gb
What's inside the rear-view mirror
           Db      Ab
 is closer than it appears
Bbm                 Gb           
We do the best that we know how, 
   Db                     Ab
with what we have been given
 Bbm                       Gb     
And the difference between you and
           Db           Ab
 I is, I've been given time
Bbm   Gb         Db
In time, you'll see

Bbm Gb Db Ab Bbm Gb Db

[Verse 2]
Bbm
Dear Me …
              Gb          Db      
This is a letter to the girl I 
    Ab
used to be
Bbm                       Gb     
Some things are not as simple as 
      Db Ab
we said
Bbm               Gb             
Remember when we thought there 
       Db               Ab         
were a handful of some magic words 
Bbm
to pray
Gb                       Db      
A guarantee and a down payment on
      Ab
 a mansion
Bbm                            Db
Remember all the rules we made 
                 Ab
about the Body and the Blood
Bbm                    Gb
The hoops we made them jump through.
Db             Ab       Bbm
Though He offers it to everyone
Gb       Db
I'm so sorry

[Chorus 1]
Bbm                      Gb   
Do you remember now the things I 
     Db                    Ab
said I thought that I deserved
Bbm            Gb
My flag, and safety, a place to 
learn
Db
The things I know I didn't earn
Bbm                       Gb
And bless their hearts, I'm sure 
it's hard
Db
But handouts don't help anyone
Ab              Bbm         Gb
And all the talk about the system
Db          Ab                 Bbm
I sure hope someone can fix them
Gb        Db
I said those things

Dear Me …
              Ab        Eb        
This is a letter to the girl I 
     Bb
used to be
Cn                        Ab        
    Eb
You'll see, you're gonna take the 
long way
Bb    Cm               Ab       
And there is nothing you could 
       Eb     Bb
do or say to separate you
Bb       Cm            Ab       
From the love of God who made 
                     Bb
you just exactly as He meant to
    Cm           Ab          
And you cannot imagine all the 
      Eb                  Bb
places you'll see Jesus
          Cm             Ab       
But you'll find Him everywhere you
               Eb
 thought He wasn't supposed to go
So, go!.. Go!..

[Chorus 2]
     Eb
And hold all the mothers, whose 
babies bleed from bullet holes
     Ab
And feel all the hunger, the bellies
 and the bones
Cm
Shout for the prisoner, cry for 
justice, loud and long
Ab
And march with the victims, as Jesus
 marches on
Eb                                
And sit at all the tables, 'cause 
Fm
Jesus eats with everyone
Gm                         Ab
And dance to the music, if you can't
 sing its native tongue
Cm                      Gm
And cry for the wombs, the mothers 
and the empty arms
Ab
And hold high the warriors, fighting
 now for freedoms' song

[Bridge]
Eb
And love, love, love, love
Like it's your own blood
Ab
And love, love, love, love
As you have been loved
Bb    Cm
Love, love, love, love
Like it's your own blood
Gm
Love, love, love, love
As you have been loved
Eb
Love, love, love, love, love
Gm
Like [you have been?]
Ab
Love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love!
Cm
Love, love, love, love, love
Gm          Ab
His name is love
Love, love, love, love, love

Dear Me …
             Ab             Eb    
You did not learn this in a day or
            Bb
 two or three
Cm             Ab  Eb    Bb
So ask a lot of questions
Cm         Ab        Eb      Bb
But Jesus loves us, this I know
Cm                  Ab
And there are no exceptions
