Intro: Eb Ebsus4 Eb Ebsus4
 
Verse 1:
Eb
 I've been having a hard time adjusting
Ab
 I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
Eb
 I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
Eb   
 I have a lot of regrets about that
Cm
 Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
Ab
 Could've followed my fears all the way down
Bb
 And maybe I don't quite know what to say
        Bb
But I'm here in your doorway
 
Chorus:
              Cm              Ab              Eb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              Eb                Ab              Bb     Eb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Verse 2:
Eb
 They told me all of my cages were mental
Ab
 So I got wasted like all my potential
Eb
 And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
Eb   
I have a lot of regrets about that
Cm                                             Ab
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
                                             Bb
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
                                         Bb
Pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey
 
Chorus:
              Cm              Ab              Eb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              Eb                Ab              Bb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Post-Chorus:
             Eb Ab Eb Eb   
At least I'm trying
 
Bridge:
         Cm                                            Ab
And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
                                                       Bb
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
                                                       Bb
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
 
Chorus:
                  Cm              Ab              Eb
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
-And maybe I don't quite know what to say-
              Eb                Ab              Bb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Outro:
             Eb
At least I'm trying
