Chords for Lauren Daigle - The Story Behind "You Say"

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] I keep fighting voices [Am] in my mind that say I'm not [Dm] enough.
_ _ _ It was the [Bb] day [C] after my very first Dove Awards,
[F] and I remember _ being completely [Am] overwhelmed.
I walked into the studio, and [Dm] Paul and Jason, my producers, were in there,
and they're like, [C] all right, what's going on in your world?
How's it been?
It was [F] the first time we had written since How Can It Be.
I just [Am] remember feeling like so much had happened the night [Dm] before.
How do I come back down _
[Bb] [C] to normal?
How do I come back down to [F] reality?
And started realizing these patterns of _
[Am] really high highs and then, okay, now there's [Dm] a low.
Really high high, now there's a low.
And involving [Bb] expectation _ in that space [F] can just _ leave you kind of questioning your identity.
Where do [Am] I fit in?
Where _ is my security?
[Dm] Where is my footing? _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ So _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ when _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ writing [Am] You Say, _ _ I just remember feeling [Dm] for the first time pretty conflicted.
It was _
[Bb] definitely the first moment [F] in just being an artist that I was like, okay, where [Am] is all this going exactly?
_ _ And I [Dm] know that we've all faced moments in life where we can feel a [Bb] crossroads happen,
where we can see the past [F] and also see the future and realize how we are [Am] supposed to exist in the present.
And it was one of those [Dm] moments where I could see where things were going,
[Bb] and I knew exactly where I came from, and I needed those [F] worlds to still be married.
And [Am] thus brought up the issue of just identity and [Dm] trying to figure out how to exist
when I feel like so [Bb] many things are pulling me in so many different directions. _
[F] With that, I think a lot of times we build these complexes [Am] about, you know, based on insecurity,
based [Dm] on fear, based on rejection, and just lies that [Bb] we have to constantly _ overcome.
And so [F] this song for me was just a reminder of identity.
It was a [Am] reminder _ that, you know, [Dm] when I'm weak, He's strong.
So how do [Bb] I change that and bring that into my everyday life?
[F] When I feel inadequate, _ how is it that _ there's always these moments [Am] where I feel like God just steps in and [Dm] supersedes my inadequacies?
This entire song [Bb] was so that every single night I would get up on stage and remind [F] myself,
no, this is the [Am] truth, this is the truth, this is the truth.
Don't get buried [Dm] in _ confusion.
Don't get buried in, [Bb] _ like, waywardness.
Just [F] remember to study the Course, study the Course.
That's the [Am] story behind this.
_ You say I [Dm] am strong _ when I think [Bb] I am weak.
_ You say I am [F] held _ _ when I am [Am] falling short.
_ When I don't [Dm] belong.
_ Oh, you say [Bb] I'm _ yours.
_ _ And [F] I believe.
_ _ Oh, [Am] I believe.
_ _ What you say [Dm] _ of me. _ _ _ _
