Breathe 2 Am


I wasn't happy with the other versions of the song on this site, so I worked it out myself. I think mine's a little more accurate, but I could be biased ;) I'm pretty sure it's in the original key without the capo, but I like to play it a little higher, say capo 2 or 3. A D 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 --spqr
