Intro: Bb Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
 
Verse 1:
Bb
 I've been having a hard time adjusting
Eb
 I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
Bb
 I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
Bb   
 I have a lot of regrets about that
Gm
 Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
Eb
 Could've followed my fears all the way down
F
 And maybe I don't quite know what to say
        F
But I'm here in your doorway
 
Chorus:
              Gm              Eb              Bb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              Bb                Eb              F     Bb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Verse 2:
Bb
 They told me all of my cages were mental
Eb
 So I got wasted like all my potential
Bb
 And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
Bb   
I have a lot of regrets about that
Gm                                             Eb
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
                                             F
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
                                         F
Pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey
 
Chorus:
              Gm              Eb              Bb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              Bb                Eb              F
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Post-Chorus:
             Bb Eb Bb Bb   
At least I'm trying
 
Bridge:
         Gm                                            Eb
And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
                                                       F
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
                                                       F
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
 
Chorus:
                  Gm              Eb              Bb
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
-And maybe I don't quite know what to say-
              Bb                Eb              F
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Outro:
             Bb
At least I'm trying
