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 You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C#  D  E  F#m  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
