G                     F
Maybe I make things a mess

And maybe you're right to have doubts in me
G                  F
Maybe, but nevertheless
                                 C
If you for once could just trust me
Eb                         G
Just this once let me come through for you
                 D
The way that you want me to

[Chorus]
                G
Let me make you proud
                    C
Let me show you the best in me
Eb                G                            Cm   F
Let me give you a reason to believe that I can stand tall
Cm       D    G
And when I return
                      C
And I'm more than you dreamt I'd be
Eb                                                  F          G
Maybe then you will realize that you never actually knew me at all

[Verse 2]
                Cm         F
Sure, I've made lots of mistakes
Dm     Eb            G
I know that I've disappointed you
                   C       F
Still, though, whatever it takes
                       C
I'm gonna fix it, just watch me
Eb                          G
Just you wait, I'll make it up to you
                         D
If it's the last thing I ever do

[Chorus]
F               Bb
I will make you proud
                     Eb
I will make you have faith in me
Ebm                   Bb                       Ebm
I will prove that the way I used to be is all in the past
       F        Bb
I will save the day
                       Eb        Gb
And come back here tri-umphantly

’Cause I long for that look of
                                      Gm  Bb
surprise when you see your son rising at last
    Eb            Bb            Cm7          F      Gb Ab Bb
The pride in your eyes when you see your son rising at last
