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

At least I'm trying
