Intro: G Gsus4 G Gsus4
 
Verse 1:
G
 I've been having a hard time adjusting
C
 I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
G
 I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
G   
 I have a lot of regrets about that
Em
 Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
C
 Could've followed my fears all the way down
D
 And maybe I don't quite know what to say
        D
But I'm here in your doorway
 
Chorus:
              Em              C              G
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              G                C              D     G
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Verse 2:
G
 They told me all of my cages were mental
C
 So I got wasted like all my potential
G
 And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
G   
I have a lot of regrets about that
Em                                             C
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
                                             D
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
                                         D
Pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey
 
Chorus:
              Em              C              G
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              G                C              D
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Post-Chorus:
             G C G G   
At least I'm trying
 
Bridge:
         Em                                            C
And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
                                                       D
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
                                                       D
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
 
Chorus:
                  Em              C              G
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
-And maybe I don't quite know what to say-
              G                C              D
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Outro:
             G
At least I'm trying
