Tell Me I'm Enough

Intro

Organ alone, a slow snare, a man clearing his throat

Verse 1

I watch you get ready in the bathroom lightEvery man in the room's gonna look tonightAnd I'm standing here in my one good coatWondering how a man like me got this close

Pre-Chorus

I know I said it yesterdayI know I'll say it againBut baby, just one more time

Chorus

Tell me I'm enoughEven on the days I'm notTell me that you'd choose thisOut of everything you've gotI've been second place my whole lifeI've been almost, I've been not quiteSo when the lights go down tonightTell me I'm enough

Verse 2

My daddy said I'd never amount to muchSaid it so often I made it trueI've been carrying his voice around in my chestTill I found a louder one in you

Pre-Chorus

I know I said it yesterdayI know I'll say it againBut baby, just one more time

Chorus

Tell me I'm enoughEven on the days I'm notTell me that you'd choose thisOut of everything you've gotI've been second place my whole lifeI've been almost, I've been not quiteSo when the lights go down tonightTell me I'm enough

Bridge

Band drops to organ, gospel choir enters

And one of these days, one of these daysI'm gonna believe it when you sayOne of these days, one of these daysI'm gonna say it to myself the same way

Final Chorus

Full band, horns, choir, voice tearing open

Tell me I'm enoughEven on the days I'm notTell me that you'd choose thisOut of everything you've gotI've been second place my whole lifeBut I'm first place in your eyesSo when the lights go down tonightTell me I'm enough

Outro

Organ and voice

I'm enoughSay it back
