Dm
 Dear God
Do You hear me when I'm crying?
         Bb
 When I doubt
         Gm            A7
That my soul is worth saving? Thinking
Dm
 "I'm not good enough for You
                     Bb
to answer, what the fck?"
           Gm              A7
Don't You love us all the same?

[Pre-Chorus]
            Gm
I've taken more than my
           A7
share of pain
           Gm               A7
Can't You hear me say your name?
           A7
Can't You see I've got these

[Chorus]
Dm
Angel wings
Sewed on to my back with
       Bb
black ribbon
             A7
I know You know it hurts my skin
Dm                             Bb
I was just trying to get into Heaven
           A7
I've been dying to fit in

[Verse 2]
Dm
 Dear God

If I drown myself deep in
            Bb
this holy water
         Gm           A7
Will it wash away my sins?
Dm
 I thought You could help me
                       Bb
make myself a better daughter
        Gm              A7
But it hasn't happened yet

[Pre-Chorus]
            Gm
I've taken more than my
           A7
share of pain
           Gm               A7
Can't You hear me say Your name?
           A7
Can't You see I've got these
