Intro:
G Gadd4 G Gadd4
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/F#
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/B 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/F#
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/B C D
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
Post-Chorus:
G C G G/F#
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/B C D
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
Outro:
G
At least I'm trying
