Intro: A Asus4 A Asus4
 
Verse 1:
A
 I've been having a hard time adjusting
D
 I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
A
 I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
A   
 I have a lot of regrets about that
Gbm
 Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
D
 Could've followed my fears all the way down
E
 And maybe I don't quite know what to say
        E
But I'm here in your doorway
 
Chorus:
              Gbm              D              A
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              A                D              E     A
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Verse 2:
A
 They told me all of my cages were mental
D
 So I got wasted like all my potential
A
 And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
A   
I have a lot of regrets about that
Gbm                                             D
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
                                             E
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
                                         E
Pouring out my heart to a stranger but I didn't pour the whiskey
 
Chorus:
              Gbm              D              A
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              A                D              E
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Post-Chorus:
             A D A A   
At least I'm trying
 
Bridge:
         Gbm                                            D
And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
                                                       E
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
                                                       E
You're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town
 
Chorus:
                  Gbm              D              A
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
-And maybe I don't quite know what to say-
              A                D              E
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 
Outro:
             A
At least I'm trying
