[Verse 1 & 2, 0:00, Piano]

 A                                        G
   2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake.
                                          D
 Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
                                        A
 I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season.


[Verse 2, 0:17, Guitar joins]

 A                                                 G
 Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes.
                                          D
 Like they have any right at all to criticize.
                                             A
 Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason.


[Bridge 1, 0:32]

                Bm                               D
 'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
            A                     E
 And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
 Bm                     D
 No one can find the rewind button, girl.
      A                    E        Esus4   E
 So cradle your head in your hands


[Chorus, 0:52, Synth strings join]

       G     D       A        Asus4   A
 And breathe... just breathe!
      G     D     A         Asus4   A
 Oh breathe! Just breathe!


[Verse 3 & 4, 1:10, Drums join]

 A                                           G
    In May he turn 21 on the base at Fort Bliss.
                                                    D
 "Just a Day", he said down to the flask in his fist.
                                            A
 "Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."

 A                                        G
    Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
                                                   D
 But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
                                        A      Asus4   A
 Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.


[Bridge 1, 1:42, As Above]


[Chorus, 2:02, As Above]


[Bridge 2, 2:18]

                 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                     D
 And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again.
      A                    E        Esus4   E
 If you only try turning around.


[Verse 6 & 7, 2:38]

 A                                       G
    2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song.
                                            D
 If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
                            A
 Threatening the life it belongs to.

 A                                              G
    And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
                                                   D
 Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
                                               A      Asus4   A
 And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
