Verse 1
[G] [C]
At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream
[G] [C]
A war's already waged for my destiny
[G] [C]
But You've already won the battle
[Am] [C]
And You've got great plans for me
[Am] [C] (Drop on 4)
Though I can’t always see
Chorus
[G] [C]
(‘Cause) I got a couple dents in my fender
[Em] [D]
Got a couple rips in my jeans
[G] [C]
Try to fit the pieces together
[Em] [D]
But perfection is my enemy
[G] [C]
On my own I'm so clumsy
[Am] [C] [D]
But on Your shoulders I can see
[Chorus 1 end]
[G] [C] [Em] [D] (1 strum)
I'm free to be me
Verse 2
[G] [C]
When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
[G] [C] (Drop on 1)
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
[G] [C]
But things don't always come that easy
[Am] [C]
And sometimes I would doubt, Oh-oh-oh...
Chorus
[G] [C]
(‘Cause) I got a couple dents in my fender
[Em] [D]
Got a couple rips in my jeans
[G] [C]
Try to fit the pieces together
[Em] [D]
But perfection is my enemy
[G] [C]
On my own I'm so clumsy
[Am] [C] [D]
But on Your shoulders I can see
[Chorus 2 end]
[Am] [C]
I’m free to be me...
[Am] [C]
And you’re free to be you...
Verse 3
[G] [C]
Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
[G] [C]
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
[G] [C]
But You look at my heart and You tell me
[Am] [C]
That I've got all You seek, oh-oh-oh
[Am] [C] (Stop on 3)
And it’s easy to believe... even though...
[Chorus] x2
[G] [C]
(‘Cause) I got a couple dents in my fender
[Em] [D]
Got a couple rips in my jeans
[G] [C]
Try to fit the pieces together
[Em] [D]
But perfection is my enemy
[G] [C]
On my own I'm so clumsy
[Am] [C] [D]
But on Your shoulders I can see
Outro
[G] [C]
I’m free to be me...
[Am] [C] (one strum)
And you’re free to be you...
