Verse 1
[D]I've been having a hard time adjusting
[G]I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting
[D]I didn't know if you'd care if I came back
[D]I have a lot of regrets about that
[Bm]Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
[G]Could've followed my fears all the way down
[A]And maybe I don't quite know what to say
But I'm [A]here in your doorway
Chorus
I just wanted [Bm]you to know that [G]this is me [D]trying [D]
I just wanted [Bm]you to know that [G]this is me [A]trying [A]
Post-Chorus
[D] [D]
Verse 2
[D]They told me all of my cages were mental
[G]So I got wasted like all my potential
[D]And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad
[D]I have a lot of regrets about that
[Bm]I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a [G]sphere
Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up [A]here
Pouring out my heart to a stranger, but I [A]didn't pour the whiskey
Chorus
I just wanted [Bm]you to know that [G]this is me [D]trying [D]
I just wanted [Bm]you to know that [G]this is me [A]trying [A]
Post-Chorus
At least I'm [D]trying [G]
I'm trying so [D]hard
But then they
Bridge
[D]called off the circus, burned the disco down
[G] When they sent home the horses and the rodeo clowns
[Bm] I'm still on that tightrope
I'm still trying [G]everything to get you laughing at me
[D] I'm still a believer, but I don't know why
[G] I've never been a natural, all I do is try, [Bm]try, try
[Bm]
'Cause it's [Bm]hard to be at a party when I feel like an open [G]wound
It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is [A]you
'Cause you're a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in [A]my town
Chorus
And [D]I just wanted [G]you to know
I'm a [Bm]mirrorball
And [Bm]you should know that I'm [G]trying [A]
[A]Trying just for you [D]
