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
