AD
2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
Dm
Can you help me unravel my latest mistake
A
I don't love him and winter just wasn't my season.
AD
Yeah, we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Dm
Like they have any right at all to criticize
A
Hypocrites, you're all here for the very same reason.
Bm
Cause you can't jump the track,
D
We're like cars on a cable and
AE
life's like an hourglass glued to the table.
BmD
No one can find the rewind button, girl,
AEE7
So cradle your head in your hands
GDAGDA
And breathe, just breathe. Whoa breathe just breathe
AD
May, he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
Dm
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist
A
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
D
Here in town you can tell he's been down for while
Dm
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
A
Wanna hold him, but maybe I'll just sing about it
Bm
'Cause you can't jump the track
D
We're like cars on a cable and
AE
life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
BmD
No one can find the rewind button, boys
AEE7
So cradle your head in your hands.
GDAGDA
And breathe, just breathe, ohhh breathe just breathe
BmD
There's a light at each end of this tunnel
AE
you shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
Bm
And these mistakes you've made
DAEE7
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around
AD
2 AM and I'm still awake writing this song
Dm
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me
A
Threatnin' the life it belongs to.
AD
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Dm
'Cause these words are my diary screamin' out loud
A
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.
Bm
Cause you can't jump the track
D
We're like cars on a cable and
AE
life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
BmD
No one can find the rewind button now
AEE7
Sing it if you understand...
GDAGDA
Yeah breathe, just breathe, ohhh breathe, just breathe
GDAGDA
Yeah breathe, just breathe, ohhh breathe, just breathe
