This Is Me Trying - Daylight

• Intro

**THIS IS ME TRYING**

Intro

G Cadd9 (x2)

Verse 1

 G
I’ve been having a hard time adjusting
 Cadd9
I had the shiniest wheels, now they’re rusting
 G
I didn’t know if you’d care if I came back
 D/F
I have a lot of regrets about that
 Em7
Pulled the car off the road to the lookout
 Cadd9
Could’ve followed my fears all the way down
 D/F
And maybe I don’t quite know what to say
       D/F
But I’m here in your doorway

Chorus

               Em7            Cadd9            G
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
             Em7              Cadd9             D/F
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
 G    Cadd9   Em7  D/F  Cadd9
At least I’m trying

**DAYLIGHT**

Verse 1

              G             A7sus4         Cadd9
My love was as cruel as the cities I lived in
 G      A7sus4               Cadd9
Everyone looked worse in the light
                  G               A7sus4        Cadd9
There are to many lines that I’ve crossed unforgiven
       G         A7sus4               Cadd9
I’ll tell you the truth but never goodbye

Chorus

 G                                           A7sus4
I don’t wanna look at anything else now that I saw you
 G/B                                            Cadd9
I don’t wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you
G                                       A7sus4
 I’ve been sleeping so long in a 20-year dark night
             G/B
And now I see daylight
          Cadd9
I only see daylight
           G                             A7sus4
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight
           G/B                            Cadd9
I only see daylight, daylight, daylight, daylight

**THIS IS ME TRYING**

Bridge

         G/B                                          Cadd9
And it’s hard to be at a party when I feel like an open wound
                                                     D/F
It’s hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you
                                                        D/F
You’re a flashback in a film reel on the one screen in my town

**DAYLIGHT**

Bridge

 G                         A7sus4
But I can still se it all (In my mind)
                      G/B
All of you, all of me (Intertwined)
                           Cadd9
I once believed love would be (Black and white), but it’s golden
G                       A7sus4
 And I can still see it all (In my head)
                                         G/B
Back and forth from New York (Sneaking in your bed)
                                Cadd9
I once believed love would be (Burning red), but it’s golden
    G             A7sus4
Like daylight, like daylight
    G/B         Cadd9
Like daylight, daylight

Chorus

G
I don’t wanna look at anything else
            A7sus4
Now that I saw you
 G/B
And I don’t wanna think of anything else
           Cadd9
Not that I thought of you

**BOTH SONGS**

                  G                         A7sus4
And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
               G/B                       Cadd9
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying
                                  G
And trying, and trying, I wanted you to know
        A7sus4
This is me trying
              G/B                        Cadd9
I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

Outro

         G                          A7sus4
You gotta step into the daylight and let it go
         G/B            Cadd9
Just let it go, let it go
                 G                       A7sus4
And I just wanted you to know, this is me trying
     G/B            Cadd9
To let it go, let it go
