C Dm                                             C 
  Stressed of paying rent, still living with my momma though 
Bb                                     C 
  Scared of 10 years ahead just 'cause I don't know 
Dm                                      C 
 Straight A's, doing it right since the fifth grade 
Bb                                           C 
  It don;t matter 'cause I still can't get a pay raise 
Dm                                   C 
 Tryna fugure out what this life is about 
Bb                                 C 
  I try to sleep but I end up with nightmares 
Dm                                    C 
  Tryna figure out how to live without doubts 
Bb                                  C 
  Maybe I just need to learn how to not care 

Pre-Chorus (x2) 
Dm               C 
Don't get caught up with the world 
Bb          C 
This is not worth living for 
Dm              C 
Save your tears for beauty and 
Bb              C 
Give your trust to God above 

Chorus 
  Dm                       C 
Yeah, tryna take your life from the safest route 
Bb                  C 
Tryna live safe just like everyone else 
Dm              C                                Bb 
But if your God gave you a gift then you should expect 
                                C 
For Him to give you the chance to make His name more profound with it 
Dm                 C 
I'm not saying life will be easy, no 
Bb                       C 
I'm just saying that life will come and go 
Dm                      C 
So you can expect for me to take this life and 
Bb                             C 
Do with it what I feel that my God has given me to show 
Dm            C 
So ignore the risk and take the fall 
Bb                         C 
And if it's meant to be it will be worth it all 
Dm                   C                     Bb 
Don't be immune to your blessings but trust in them 
                     C 
And trust in God and God will bless you
