Intro: Db Dbsus4 Db Dbsus4
 
Verse 1:
Db
 I've been having a hard time adjusting
Gb
 I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
Db
 I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
Db   
 I have a lot of regrets about that
Bbm
 Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
Gb
 Could've followed my fears all the way down
Ab
 And maybe I don't quite know what to say
        Ab
But I'm here in your doorway
 
Chorus:
              Bbm              Gb              Db
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              Db                Gb              Ab     Db
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Verse 2:
Db
 They told me all of my cages were mental
Gb
 So I got wasted like all my potential
Db
 And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
Db   
I have a lot of regrets about that
Bbm                                             Gb
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
                                             Ab
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
                                         Ab
Pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey
 
Chorus:
              Bbm              Gb              Db
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              Db                Gb              Ab
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Post-Chorus:
             Db Gb Db Db   
At least I'm trying
 
Bridge:
         Bbm                                            Gb
And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
                                                       Ab
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
                                                       Ab
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
 
Chorus:
                  Bbm              Gb              Db
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
-And maybe I don't quite know what to say-
              Db                Gb              Ab
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Outro:
             Db
At least I'm trying
