Intro:
Ab Eb/G Fm Eb/G Ab Eb/G Fm


Verse 1:
Ab
  It's 4 a.m. and
    Eb/G
I'm wide awake
Fm
Waiting for my
Eb/G
thoughts to fade
     Ab
And a  flickering of
Eb/G         Fm
all of my mistakes
Ab
  And as the light
       Eb/G
starts creeping in
   Fm
I slowly feel the
Eb/G
day I'm missing
    Ab
But I wouldn't even
Eb/G            Fm
know where to begin

Refrain 1:
     Ab
Do I push too hard
   Eb
or fall too fast?
    Fm
The moment never
Eb/G
seems to last
    Ab
And will I stop for
Eb          Bb
long enough to know


Chorus 1:
              Ab
That everybody  burns?
    Ab
And when it starts
Eb/G           Bb
to hurt I cry I feel
      Ab
it in my veins I just
           Eb/G      Bb
can't walk away this time


Verse 2:
Ab                  Eb/G
  Your words circle in
            Fm
my head And weigh so
      Eb/G
heavy on my chest
    Ab
And I'm crushed
Eb/G         Fm
by your expectation
Ab
  I only want to
Eb/G
do some good
    Fm
Too dumb to know
Eb/G
if I could
    Ab           Eb/G
And I just wanna feel
         Fm
the days I'm in


Refrain 2:
     Ab
Do I go too far
    Eb
not far enough?
    Fm
Why can't I keep
   Eb/G
my big mouth shut?
    Ab
And do we lead the
Eb        Bb
life that we should?


Chorus 2:
              Ab
That everybody  burns?
    Ab
And when it starts
Eb/G           Bb
to hurt I cry I feel
      Ab
it in my veins I just
           Eb/G      Bb
can't walk away this time


Bridge:
Ab    Eb                  Cm
  And did I say too much again
           Bb        Ab
I'm just a girl in a panic
         Eb          Cm
And if I tell you my truth
     BB
am I getting through?
Ab        Eb
  It just seems I should
   Cm              Bb
confess and who am I to
   Ab            Eb
pretend? This is more
          Bb
than I can  carry


Chorus 3:
              Ab
That everybody  burns?
    Ab
And when it starts
Eb/G      Bb
to hurt I cry
  Bb
I hold my head up
Ab
high I know I'll be
 Eb/G        Bb
alright this time
             Ab
I feel it in my veins
  Ab
I just can't walk
 Eb/G     Bb
away this time


Chorus 4:
Ab     Eb/G
  This time
     Bb
this time
Ab     Eb/G
  This time
     Bb
this time


Outro:
Ab
  It's 4 a.m. and
    Eb/G
I'm wide awake
Fm
Waiting for my
Eb/G
thoughts to fade
   Ab
And  it's times like
Eb/G             Fm
these I see your face
