[Verse 1]
C
I'm just alright
                 G
At playing this guitar
          C
I'm just ok
                      G
At singing this old song
                 Am
And thats just fine
                 G
Cause I don't boast my expertise

(Strum next chords once)
      C              G                C
On playing these six strings and humming rhymes

[Verse 2]
            C
I will not stop
       G            C
And listen to my doubts
               C
That I'm not good
      C             G
I wasted too much time
            Am
To sit and fret
       G                   
About what if I'm not good enough
      Am         G           C
My mediocre's good enough for God

[Chorus]
            F      G       C
So I will try try try try try
                  Am       G        C
And ignore these lie lie lie lie lies
                          F          G        C
That's it's not worth my time time time time time
                           Am
I'm not playing this for you
                         G
I'm not playing this for me
                       C
I'm playing this for God

C

[Verse 3]
               C
The time has come
      F               C
To shine the light I have
              C
In this dark room
       F                      C
My light might not be that bright
               Am
But that's old news
                   F
So I'll shine it bright
     C            G 
For You, oh for You
(Strum G 5x)

[Chorus]
           F       G       C
So I will try try try try try
                  Am       G        C
And ignore these lie lie lie lie lies
                          F         G          C
That's it's not worth my time time time time time
                           Am
I'm not playing this for you
                         G
I'm not playing this for me
                       C
I'm playing this for God

[Bridge]
C                 F          Am         G         Am
This story only ends If I answer Your call Ooohhhh
      C                 F          Am                         G
The prides before the fall, if I have no pride I can't fall down
     C                                                        G
My lack of pride is just my confidence in the gifts You've given me
           C                                        Am                 G
I won't stifle it, I'll invest in this, cause the gifts You give are free

      C               F
My backs against the wall
         Am        G              Am
If my destiny is this how will I know?
          C           G
Is this more than a song?
             Am
But letting go
         C        G
Of my perfect unknown

[Chorus]
           F        G      C
So I will try try try try try
  F      G       C
Try try try try try
                   Am      G       C
And ignore these lie lie lie lie lies
                           F         G         C
That's it's not worth my time time time time time
                           Am
I'm not playing this for you
                         G
I'm not playing this for me
                       N.C.
I'm playing this for God
