Chords and lyrics for Breathe (2 AM) by Anna Nalick (key of D).
Verse 1
[A] 2 AM and she calls me cause I'm still [G]awake
"Can you help me unravel my latest [D]mistake
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my[A] season."
[A] Yeah, we walk through the doors - so accusing their [G]eyes
Like they have any right at all to [D]criticize
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same[A] reason.
Chorus
Cause you [Bm]can't jump the track
We're like [D]cars on a cable
And [A]life's like an hourglass [E]glued to the table
[Bm]No one can find the [D]rewind button, girl
So [A]cradle your head in [E]your hands.
And[G] [D]breathe, just[A] breathe, [G]whoa [D]breathe just[A] breathe
Verse 2
[A] In May he turned 21 on the base of Fort [G]Bliss
"Just a day," he said down to the flask in his [D]fist
"Ain't been sober since maybe October of [A]last year."
[A] Here in town you can tell he's been down for a [G]while
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy [D]smiles
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing [A]about it
Chorus
Cause you [Bm]can't jump the track
We're like [D]cars on a cable
And [A]life's like an hourglass [E]glued to the table
[Bm]No one can find the [D]rewind button, boys
So [A]cradle your head in [E]your hands.
And[G] [D]breathe, just[A] breathe, [G]whoa [D]breathe just[A] breathe
Bridge
There's a [Bm]light at each end of this [D]tunnel
You shout cause you're [A]just as far in as you'll [E]ever be out
And these [Bm]mistakes you've made, you'll just [D]make them again
If you [A]only try turnin' [E]around
Verse 3
[A] 2 AM and I'm still awake writing a [G]song
If I get it all down on paper it's no [D]longer inside of me
Threatenin' the life it [A]belongs to.
[A] And I feel like I'm naked in front of the [G]crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin' out [D]loud
And I know that you'll use them however you [A]want to.
Chorus
But you [Bm]can't jump the track
We're like [D]cars on a cable
And [A]life's like an hourglass [E]glued to the table,
[Bm]No one can find the [D]rewind button now
[A]Sing it if you [E]understand...
And[G] [D]breathe, [A]just breathe, whoa[G] [D]breathe [A]just breathe
[G]Whoa [D]breathe, just[A] breathe, whoa[G] [D]breathe just[A] breathe
