verse 1 
Bbm 
Dear Me ... 
          Gb              Db            Ab 
This is a letter to the girl I used to be 
Bbm 
Dear Me ... 
           Gb                          Db  Ab 
There are some things that you should know 
Bbm                      Gb    Db         Ab 
It's not my intention to embarrass or to shame you 
       Bbm                      Gb           Db      Ab 
What's inside the rear-view mirror is closer than it appears 
Bbm                 Gb              Db                     Ab 
We do the best that we know how, with what we have been given 
 Bbm                       Gb                Db           Ab 
And the difference between you and 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          Ab 
This is a letter to the girl I used to be 
Bbm                       Gb           Db Ab 
Some things are not as simple as we said 
Bbm               Gb                    Db               Ab         Bbm 
Remember when we thought there were a handful of some magic words to pray 
Gb                       Db            Ab 
A guarantee and a down payment on a mansion 
Bbm                            Db                 Ab 
Remember all the rules we made 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 
 
Bbm                      Gb        Db                    Ab 
Do you remember now the things I 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 

verse 3 
Cm 
Dear Me … 
              Ab        Eb             Bb 
This is a letter to the girl I used to be 
Cn                        Ab            Eb 
You'll see, you're gonna take the long way 
Bb    Cm               Ab              Eb     Bb 
And there is nothing you could do or say to separate you 
Bb       Cm            Ab                            Bb 
From the love of God who made you just exactly as He meant to 
    Cm           Ab                Eb                  Bb 
And you cannot imagine all the places you'll see Jesus 
          Cm             Ab                      Eb 
But you'll find Him everywhere you thought He wasn't supposed to go 
So, go!.. Go!.. 

     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                                Fm 
And sit at all the tables, 'cause 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 

verse 4 
Cm 
Dear Me … 
             Ab             Eb                Bb 
You did not learn this in a day or 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
