Intro: D Dsus4 D Dsus4
 
Verse 1:
D
 I've been having a hard time adjusting
G
 I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
D
 I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
D   
 I have a lot of regrets about that
Bm
 Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
G
 Could've followed my fears all the way down
A
 And maybe I don't quite know what to say
        A
But I'm here in your doorway
 
Chorus:
              Bm              G              D
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              D                G              A     D
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Verse 2:
D
 They told me all of my cages were mental
G
 So I got wasted like all my potential
D
 And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
D   
I have a lot of regrets about that
Bm                                             G
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
                                             A
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
                                         A
Pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey
 
Chorus:
              Bm              G              D
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              D                G              A
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Post-Chorus:
             D G D D   
At least I'm trying
 
Bridge:
         Bm                                            G
And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
                                                       A
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
                                                       A
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
 
Chorus:
                  Bm              G              D
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
-And maybe I don't quite know what to say-
              D                G              A
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Outro:
             D
At least I'm trying
