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