Staind is an alternative metal band formed on November 24, 1995 in Springfield, Massachusetts, United States. After meeting through friends and covering pop hits of the day in smalltime clubs for a year and a half, Staind self-released their debut album, Tormented, in November 1996, citing influences in brutal latin thrash metal. Until recently, the album was difficult to obtain, as only four thousand copies were originally sold. Since then, the band's official website has released the album to meet the demand from fans.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is my first tab. I'm sure of 95%. It's one of my favorite song of Staind and nobody transcribed a tab for it. This is the acoustic version not the studio of this song and very easy to learn. For the who wants the album version I'll try to tab it soon. If wants this song or other b-sides of STAIND message me at [email protected] btw I speak french, sorry for my bad english J'AIME LES PATATES EN TABRNAK!

And for the bridge it's the same thing than the chorus.
Lyrics:
It's 3 AM it's cold outside and you can't sleep Is it from your conscience talking to the skeletons you keep Every time you try to speak only craziness comes out And I can't turn the other cheek And you can't help how this comes out
(Chorus) So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive Cause that's not what got us here
It's 8 AM and still no sleep But you don't care I don't know why I keep on calling Does it get us anywhere? Cause every time I try to speak You never let my words come out And I can't turn the other cheek I can't help how this comes out
(Chorus) So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive Cause that's not what got us here
(Bridge) Honestly I don't know how you could see Something you once saw in me Just another volunteer To wonder if you ever lie awake in bed and think about the things you said Your dedication shows that you can't see you're eyes are closed And all the promises you made to me they seem to fade and leave me with this disappointment That these words can never show
When your ride is over and you're hanging by a thread When your house of cards is falling just remember what I said
(Chorus) So when did you decide to embrace you hate to survive Cause that's not what got us here
(Bridge) And Honestly I don't know how you could see Something you once saw in me Just another volunteer For you to bleed
