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
E/G#
I have a lot of regrets about that
F#m
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
But I'm here in your doorway

Chorus:
              F#m                D             A
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
              A/C#               D             E
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

They told me all of my cages were mental
So I got wasted like all my potential
And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
I have a lot of regrets about that
I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here
Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey

Chorus

               A   D A E/G#
At least I'm trying

         F#m
And it's hard to be at a party when
                     D
I feel like an open wound
It's hard to be anywhere these days
                    E
when all I want is you
You're a flashback in a film
reel on the one screen in my town

Chorus:
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
(And maybe I don't quite know what to say)
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

At least I'm trying
