Intro: G Cadd9 G Em G Cadd9
[Verso 1]
Cadd9 G
It's 5 a.m. and I haven't slept in 24 hours
Em
I've been thinking how all of my days and nights are nights and days
G Cadd9
Oh I can't tell
Cadd9 G
The bottle's up but it doesn't seem to sink me half empty
Em
I've been dreading 'bout all of my failures, fights and open doors
Cadd9
Will I find rest?
[Refrão]
Cadd9
And what if I end up beating a part of me
G
The part that I'm meant to keep at security
Em D
In my defense I'm used to carrying myself
Cadd9
And maybe I'm scared I lose what's in front of me
Em
Lie to my parents, say I've got everything
D
Handled but clearly I've been lying to myself, oh-oh, oh-oh
Cadd9
Ooh, ooh
Em D
Ooh, ooh
Cadd9 Em
Ooh, ooh-oh
[Verso 2]
Cadd9 G
It's 5 a.m. and I haven't spoke to anyone about this
Em
But the words are at the edge of this curb and taking up
Cadd9
A little too much space
G
It's crowded out but nobody wants to talk it over
Em
Don't wanna step on any more of these toes and reasons why
Cadd9
They couldn't care for it
[Refrão]
Cadd9
And what if I end up beating a part of me
G
The part that I'm meant to keep at security
Em D
In my defense I'm used to carrying myself
Cadd9
And maybe I'm scared I lose what's in front of me
Em
Lie to my parents, say I've got everything

Handled but clearly I've been lying to myself, oh-oh, oh-oh
