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