[Intro] Eb Bb Bbsus2 x2 [Verse 1]
Eb                                   Bb
I'm not really sure if my words make sense to you

    Bbsus2
But I can't really find

Eb                                             Bb
Any other way to form these feelings into cubes

    Bbsus2
And sort them in my mind

Eb                                  Bb
The negative thoughts go on the left

        Bbsus2
And the happy things on the right

Eb                                            Bb Bbsus2
And there's a little corner saved just for you
Eb Bb Bbsus2 x2 [Pre-Chorus 1]
Gm                                    Eb
Please let me know if you change your mind
'Cause inside I'm falling
    Bb                                F
And I need you to pull me out of this decline

Gm                        Eb
I realize how hard on you this must seem

                    Bb
But trust me when I say

                        F
It's far, far worse for me
[Chorus]
Bb*                           Eb*
Please, please be here for me dear
'Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Gm*
And I can't stress enough

            Eb          Eb*
How much it means to me that you're trying

    Bb*                               Eb*
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to

                  Gm*
'Cause I've never hated myself more

                   Eb
But this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
[Post-Chorus] Bb
Eb
 I promise I'm trying

Gm
(I promise I'm trying)

Eb
(I promise, I promise)
[Verse 2]
Eb                         Bb
Give me a moment to get my cards in line

       Bbsus2
'Cause I'm still trying to figure out

Eb                                        Bb Bbsus2
In what kind of order should I set 'em out

Eb                            Bb             Bbsus2
If there was a way to explain everything without a word

Eb                                             Bb Bbsus2
I'd have a full house right now without a doubt
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Gm                                    Eb
I'm trying to tear the wool from your eyes

                              Bb
But a part of me wants to let you be

                                       F
'Cause then you wouldn't see what I've become

Gm                                     Eb
I'm trying to shout but no sound comes out
It's like we're in a dream state
                Bb
But I should've woken up

               F
Woken up by now
[Chorus]
Bb*                           Eb*
Please, please be here for me dear
'Cause I've never needed a friend more
    Gm*
And I can't stress enough

            Eb          Eb*
How much it means to me that you're trying

    Bb                                Eb
And I don't mind if you can't hold me like you used to

                  Gm
'Cause I've never hated myself more

                   Eb
And this is just a bump in the road and I promise I'm trying
[Outro]
Bb Eb
I promise I'm trying
Bb Ebsus2 Bb
