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