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.
A D
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
A E
life's like an hourglass glued to the table.
Bm D
No one can find the rewind button, girl,
A E E7
So cradle your head in your hands
G D A G D A
And breathe, just breathe. Whoa breathe just breathe
A D
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
A E
life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
Bm D
No one can find the rewind button, boys
A E E7
So cradle your head in your hands.
G D A G D A
And breathe, just breathe, ohhh breathe just breathe
Bm D
There's a light at each end of this tunnel
A E
you shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
Bm
And these mistakes you've made
D A E E7
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around
A D
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.
A D
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
A E
life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
Bm D
No one can find the rewind button now
A E E7
Sing it if you understand...
G D A G D A
Yeah breathe, just breathe, ohhh breathe, just breathe
G D A G D A
Yeah breathe, just breathe, ohhh breathe, just breathe
