 capo 1st fret
 
 G D Em7 D G D A 
        
 VERSE
 G                  D        
 It's 4 am and I'm wide awake
 Em7        D                   
 waiting for my thoughts to fade
 G               D            A    
 a flickering of all of my mistakes
 G                       D          
 and as the light starts creeping in
   Em7        
 I slowly feel
    D               
 the day I'm missing
     Bm          D               A   
 but I won't even know where to begin
 
 CHORUS
      Bm           
 do I push too hard
   D            
 I fall too fast
   Em             D          
 a moment never seems to last
        G         D             Asus4 
 and will I stop long enough to know
 
 A                 G   
 'cause everybody burns
                      D         Asus4 
 and when it starts to hurt, I cry
 A                G   
 I feel it in my veins
                 D          A     
 I just cant walk away, this time.
 
 VERSE
 G                 D         
 your words circle in my head
       Em7                 D   
 and weigh so heavy on my chest
     G           D            A     
 and I'm crushed by your expectation
 G            D             
 I only want to do some good
    Em7                Bm  
 to dumb to know if i could
     G             D               A  
 and i just wanna feel the days I'm in
 
          G         
 and do I go too far
      D        
 not far enough
     Em              D             
 why can't I keep my big mouth shut
     G               D              A  
 and do we lead the life that we should
                  G 
 and everybody burns
                      D         Asus4 
 and when it starts to hurt, I cry
                 G    
 I feel it in my veins
                  D          A    
 I just cant walk away, this time.
 
 G     D            Bm    
 did I say too much again?
             A        G    
 I'm just a girl in a panic
      D           A    
 if I tell you my truth
  A              G    
 am I getting through?
   G          D               Bm   
 and it just seems I should confess
        A        G   
 who am I to pretend?
 G       D         A          
 this is more than I can carry
 
                  G    
 'cause everybody burns
                      Dsus2    Asus4 
 and when it starts to hurt, I cry
 A                G    
 I hold my head up high
                 D          Asus4 
 I know I'll be alright this time.
 A                G   
 I feel it in my veins
                  D          A   
 I just cant walk away this time.

 G                  D       
 it's 4 am and im wide awake
 Em7             D              
 waiting for my thoughts to fade
         G          D                A   
 and it's time like these I see your face
