[Verse 1]
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.
 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.

[Chorus]
           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
So cradle your head in your hands. 
     G      D        A             G   D        A
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

[Verse 2]
 A                                     G
May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss 
                                            D                                  
Just today he sat down to the flask in his fist
D                                        A
Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year
A                                              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 

[Chorus]
  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
So cradle your head in your hands. 
     G      D        A             G   D        A
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe just breathe

[Bridge]
  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 
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around

[Verse 3]
 A                                      G
2 AM and I'm still awake writing this song
                                       D
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me 
                          A
Threatnin' 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 screamin' out loud 
                                             A
And I know that you'll use them however you want to.

[Chorus]
  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
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

[Outro] 
G  D   A
G  D   A
