Tuning: Standard.
Capo: None.
A A A A G
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
G G G D
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake
D D D A A A A
I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season
A A A A G
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
G G G D
Like they have any right at all to criticize
D D D A A A A
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason
*PRE-CHORUS*
Em Em
'Cause you can't jump the track
D D
We're like cars on a cable
A A E E
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table
Em Em D D
No one can find the rewind button now.
A A E E E E
So cradle your head in your hands
*CHORUS*
G G G G
And breathe
A A A A
Just breathe
G G G G
Oh breathe
A A A A
Just breathe
A A A A G
May he turn 21 on the base of fort bliss
G G G D
Just a day, he said down the flask in his fist
D D D A A A A
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
A A A A G
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while
G G G D
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
D
Wanna hold him
D D A A A A
Maybe I'll just sing about it
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
Em Em D D
There's a light at each end of this tunnel you shout
A A E E
'Cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
Em Em D D
And these mistakes you've made you'll just make them again
A A E E E E
If you only try turning around
A A A A G
2 AM and I'm still awake writing a song
G G G D
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer
D D D A A A A
Inside of me threatening the life it belongs to
A A A A G
And I feel like I'm naked in front of a crowd
G G G D
'Cause these words are my diary screaming out loud
S D D A A A A
And I know that you'll use them however you want to
PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
