[Verse 1]
                
    G
    I've been having a hard time adjusting
    Cadd9
    I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
    G
    I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
    D
    I have a lot of regrets about that
    Em7
    Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
    Cadd9
    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]
                
                  Em7               Cadd9               G
    I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
                  Em7               Cadd9               D
    I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

    [Verse 2]
                
    G
    They told me all of my cages were mental
    Cadd9
    So I got wasted like all my potential
    G
    And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
    D
    I have a lot of regrets about that
    Em7                                              Cadd9
    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]
                
                  Em7               Cadd9               G
    I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
                  Em7               Cadd9               D
    I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
                  G
    At least I'm trying

    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]
                
                      Em7               Cadd9               G
    And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
                             D
