G5           
And so she wakes up 
 B5
in time to break down
E5                                          C5
She left a note up on the dresser
                D5
and she's right on time
G5    B5             E5
You don't know anything
C5           G5 B5 C5 D5
right or wrong

G5          B5
I said I know
C5           D5
and she said so
G5           B5
I wanna panic
C5                  D5
but I've had it so I go
G5        B5            E5         C5          G5  B5 C5 D5
You don't owe anything to anyone



C5               G5
But don't take your life
C5             G5
'cause it's all that you've got
E5                  B5
You'd better off just off and leaving
    C5                  D5
if you don't think they will stop


G5              B5
And qhen you wake up
E5            C5     ( D5 )
everything is gonna be fine
G5                  B5
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
E5                    C5     D5
in a better time
G5            B5
So you're tired of living
E5                  C5
feel like you might give in
      G5 B5 E5 C5
well don't
        C5        ( D5 )                   (double time)    G5    B5    E5   C5 (repeat for instrumental)
it's not your time!



G5    B5    E5   C5
Looking through the paper today looking for a specific page
G5    B5    E5   C5
Don't wanna find her full name followed by dates
G5    B5    E5   C5
because when i left her alone she made a sound, like a moan
G5    B5    E5   C5
"You're known by everyone for everything you've done"

Fuck buying flowers for graves
I'd rather buy you a one way non-stop
to anywhere find anyone do anything forget and start
 again, love She said she won't go

(half time - as at beginning)
                        G5                       B5
It hurts too much to stand by you've got to stop and draw a -
E5   C5                       D5
line, Everyone here has to choose a -
 side tonight, the moment of truth is haunting you
Don't forget your family regardless what you choose to do
You can't decide and they're all screaming "why won't you?"
I'll start the engine but I can't take this ride for you
I'll draw your bath and I'll load your gun
But I hope so bad that you're bathe and hunt

(double time)
G5                              B5                       C5
Annie's tired of forgetting about today 
                      D5
and always planning for
G5        B5          C5            D5
 tomorrow, Tomorrow and she says, 

"The saddest day I came across was
when I learned that life goes on
 without me" Without me and she says, "If 
everyone has someone else,
then I ain't got nobody's love to 
save me" )Save me, and she says 
"I think I'll pass away tonight, cause it seems I'll never get it right,
 it's just me" (just reality)

And when you wake up
everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake in a better place
in a better time
So you're tired of living
feel like you might give in
well don't
It's not your time

Annie says she wouldn't mind
if they never find a cure for all her problems (her problems)
Proplems and she says, as long as she has someone near to make it clear
she does not need to solve them (solve them )
Solve them and she says, "oh, this loneliness is killing me,
it's filling me with anger and resentment (resentment)
Resentment and she says, "I'm turning into someone that I never thought I'd have to be again"

And when you wake up
everything is gonna be fine
Guarantee that you wake up in a better place
in a better time
So you're tired of living
you feel like you might give in
well don't
It's not your time

Annie's tired of forgetting about today
and always planning for tomorrow
Tommorow and she says, "The saddest day i came across was
when I learned that life goes on without me"
Without me and she says, "If everyone has someone else,
then I ain't got nobody's love to save me"
Save me and she says, "I think I'll pass away tonight,
'cause it seems I'll never get it right, it's just me" Annie says!

when you wake up
everything is going to be fine
I guarantee that you wake in a better place
in a better time
So you're tired of living
and feel like you might give in
well don't
It's not your time


And even if it was so
Oh I wouldn't let you go
you could run run run run but I will follow close
Someday you will say "that's it, that's all"
but I'll be waiting there with open arms to break your fall
I know that you think that you're on your own
but just know that I'm here
and I'll lead you home
if you let me
She said "forget me"
but I can't
