Jesus Loves You (And I'm Trying) Jason Gray

1 Verse:
C
Here you come again, 
                  Em 
raising trouble in my comments section
Am                                              F
I know I can always count on you
         C                                          Em
To be the final word on public health, 
   
religion, and elections
           Am                                                F
You even brought a YouTube clip for proof
    G                                         E/G#
I want to bring the heat, I stop and take a beat
    Am         G          F
I type, then I delete
 C                                            Em
Until I find a way to say a kind thing without lying
    Am              F                          C
"Yes, Jesus loves you, and I'm trying"

2 Verse:
            C
They say that every family has 
            Em
to have that one obnoxious uncle
  Am                                                  F
You have the distinction of being mine
               C
Lame magic tricks and politics, 
             Em 
big stories about how you're humble
   Am                                             F
When it's time to eat you cut in line
          G 
The first one back for more, 
               E/G#
the last one out the door
                          Am      G            F
It's been that way since the divorce
           C
So I'll laugh at the jokes you tell 
        Em
to keep yourself from crying
Am                  F                          C
"Yes Jesus loves you, and I'm trying"

Bridge:
        E
It's less about a feeling, 
          Am
and more about deciding
           F                                     C   G
And that's not always easy to do
                E                               
'Cause love is most alive in me when 
        Am
it feels the most like dying
        Bb                                              F
If I say I love the One who died for you, 
                Bb                                  F
might help if I believe it for me too

3 Verse:
          C    
It's like the song says it begins right 
 Em                
here with the man in the mirror
Am                                             F
If I hope to love my neighbor well
              C
'Cause I've lived long enough 
                        Em
to learn the faults I find in others
                  Am                                              F
Are the same things I don't like about myself
             G
My shame goes on parade, 
             E/G#
when I need someone to blame
             Am        G             F
But grace whispers my name
              C
God help me speak these words into 
          Em
the parts of me I'm hiding
Am               F            C              G
"Yes Jesus love me, yes Jesus loves me, 
      Em              F                             
Oh yes Jesus loves me, And I'm trying"
