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 and winter just wasn't my season.  
 
                                                                                  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.  
 
                   Bm 
Cause you can't jump the track  
 
                   D                             A                                  E 
We're like cars on a cable and life's like an hourglass glued to the table  
 
Bm                                D 
No one can find the rewind button girl  
 
           A                      E         
So just cradle your head in your hands.  
 
    G         D          A             G           D            A 
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe  
 
                                                              G 
May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss  
 
                                                                  D  
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist  
 
                                                                     A          
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year  
 
                                                                         G 
Here in town you can tell he's been down for while  
 
                                                                       D 
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  
 
         A                                  E 
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,  
 
Bm                             D                                  A                                    E                                                
No one can find the rewind button boys so cradle your head in your hands  
 
    G         D          A             G           D            A 
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe  
 
                Bm	                  D                                             A                                       E 			
There's a light at the end of this tunnel you shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out  
 
                     Bm                                             D                                       A                     E       
And these mistakes you've made you'll just make them again if you'll only try turning around  
 
A                                                         G 
2 Am and I'm still awake writing this song  
 
                                                      D                                                           A 
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me threaten' the life it belongs to.  
 
                                                              G  
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd   
 
                                                                               D 
Cause these words are my diary screaming out loud  
 
                                                                           A 
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.  
 
              Bm                                            D                         
But 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 now  
 
A                           E         
Sing it if you understand.  
 
    G         D          A             G           D            A 
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe  
 
   G             D           A             G           D            A 
Whoa breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe
