[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...
