[Intro]
C G   C

[Verse 1]
C
I've seen "I do" go from better or worse
     Dm7
To a courtroom deciding what's 
his and what's hers
C             G
I've seen two lines and a room painted pink
F                              G
Twelve week appointment, can't find a heartbeat
C
I've seen remission going on five years
          Dm7
When that hold-your-breath
 scan doesn't come back clear
C           G
Sometimes I shout when I'm praying my prayers
     F                   G
"Can You even hear me up there?"

[Chorus]
     F
It's hard to believe it when 
all that we're seeing
   C
Is one little frame at a time
   Dm7
We all have our version of our picture perfect
    G
But He has one better in mind
        F                         G
There's days when I doubt it, got questions
 about it
    C           G/B     Am7
But God knows I gotta believe
                Dm7    G           C
He's painting a bigger picture for me


[Verse 2]
C
There's times I'm frustrated and 
I don't understand
      Dm7
And I just wanna steal that brush
 outta his hand
    G
But when all the colors finally come together
  F                      G
I know that I don't know better

[Chorus]
     F
It's hard to believe it when 
all that we're seeing
   C
Is one little frame at a time
   Dm7
We all have our version of our
 picture perfect
    G
But He has one better in mind
        F                         G
There's days when I doubt it, got questions 
about it
    C           G/B     Am7
But God knows I gotta believe
                Dm7    G           C
He's painting a bigger picture for me

[Bridge]
               Bb
When I'm going through it
                 F/A
I can't help but zoom in
       Abm
Then I remember
         C   G
I'm only human

[Chorus]
     F
It's hard to believe it when
 all that we're seeing
   C
Is one little frame at a time
   Dm7
We all have our version of 
our picture perfect
    G
But He has one better in mind
        F                   
There's days when I doubt it,
      G
 got questions about it
    C           G/B     Am7
But God knows I gotta believe
                Dm7    G           Am
He's painting a bigger picture for me
                 Dm7    G
I know there's a bigger picture

[Outro]
C
