Dear Mr. God,
[ch]F#[/ch]
I’m writin’ You today
[ch]E[/ch]
Because it seems like lately
[ch]F#[/ch]
I’ve forgotten how to pray
[ch]B5[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
I know I don’t need this pen
[ch]E[/ch]
But everybody likes to get
[ch]F#[/ch]
A letter now and then
[ch]E[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
I’m sorry for not writin’ more
Chorus:
[ch]G#m[/ch]
‘Cause I need you
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
But it’s hard to see
[ch]B5[/ch]
Why anyone as big as You
[ch]F#[/ch]
Needs anything from me
[ch]G#m[/ch]
I know You’re there
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
So how ya been?
[ch]B5[/ch]
I’m alright but I can’t lie,
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
Sometimes I feel like givin’ in
[ch]F#[/ch]
You’re all I’ve got
[ch]B5[/ch]
Dear Mr. God,
[ch]F#[/ch]
Sometimes I wish
You lived next door
[ch]E[/ch]
So over coffee You could tell me
[ch]F#[/ch]
What You started all this for
[ch]B5[/ch]
I guess you saw
[ch]F#[/ch]
That sunrise yesterday
[ch]E[/ch]
Thanks for the reminder
[ch]F#[/ch]
That You’re never gone away
[ch]E[/ch]
It gives me hope
[ch]F#[/ch]
Telling You what You already know
[ch]G#m[/ch]
I need you
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
But it’s hard to see
[ch]B5[/ch]
Why anyone as big as You
[ch]F#[/ch]
Needs anything from me
[ch]G#m[/ch]
I know You’re there
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
So how ya been?
[ch]B5[/ch]
I’m alright but I can’t lie,
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]E[/ch]
Sometimes I feel like givin’ in
[ch]B5[/ch]
Dear Mr. God,
[ch]F#[/ch]
Tell me do You ever cry
[ch]E[/ch]
When we forget to thank You
[ch]F#[/ch]
For the good things in our lives?
[ch]B5[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]
I know I can’t always understand
[ch]E[/ch]
Why You do the things You do
[ch]F#[/ch]
But I know in the end
[ch]E[/ch]
I’ll make it through
[ch]F#[/ch] [ch]G#m[/ch]
If I stand next to You
[ch]E[/ch]
So here I am
[ch]B5[/ch]
Dear Mr. God,
[ch]F#[/ch]
I’m writin’ you today
[ch]E[/ch]
Because it seems like lately
[ch]F#[/ch]
I’ve forgotten how to pray
