Intro: Ab Absus4 Ab Absus4
 
Verse 1:
Ab
 I've been having a hard time adjusting
Db
 I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
Ab
 I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
Ab   
 I have a lot of regrets about that
Fm
 Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
Db
 Could've followed my fears all the way down
Eb
 And maybe I don't quite know what to say
        Eb
But I'm here in your doorway
 
Chorus:
              Fm              Db              Ab
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              Ab                Db              Eb     Ab
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Verse 2:
Ab
 They told me all of my cages were mental
Db
 So I got wasted like all my potential
Ab
 And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
Ab   
I have a lot of regrets about that
Fm                                             Db
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
                                             Eb
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
                                         Eb
Pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey
 
Chorus:
              Fm              Db              Ab
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              Ab                Db              Eb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Post-Chorus:
             Ab Db Ab Ab   
At least I'm trying
 
Bridge:
         Fm                                            Db
And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
                                                       Eb
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
                                                       Eb
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
 
Chorus:
                  Fm              Db              Ab
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
-And maybe I don't quite know what to say-
              Ab                Db              Eb
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
