(*) Aaron plays the D/F# chord using his thumb on the E string 2nd fred. This

 Dsus2                 D/F#         Dsus2/G
  It's 3 AM it's cold outside and you can't sleep
 Dsus2                        D/F#           Dsus2/G       Dsus2
  Is it from your conscience talking to the skeletons you keep
                         D/F#        Dsus2/G        Dsus2
  Every time you try to speak only craziness comes out
                              D/F#
  And I can't turn the other cheek
                 Dsus2/G             Bsus4
  And you can't help how this comes out
  (Chorus)
      G              D         Asus2                    Bsus4
  So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive
                G               D       Dsus2
  Cause that's not what got us here
 Dsus2                    D/F#
  It's 8 AM and still no sleep
       Dsus2/G
  But you don't care
 Dsus2                        D/F#
  I don't know why I keep on calling
           Dsus2/G   Dsus2
  Does it get us anywhere?
                             D/F#
  Cause every time I try to speak
             Dsus2/G           Dsus2
  You never let my words come out
                              D/F#
  And I can't turn the other cheek
           Dsus2/G             Bsus4

             Asus2           Bsus4
  Something you once saw in me
          G           D
  Just another volunteer
      Asus2         Bsus4      G               D              Asus2
  To wonder if you ever lie awake in bed and think about the things you said
         Bsus4     G                    D                   Asus2
  Your dedication shows that you can't see you're eyes are closed

  And all the promises you made to me they seem to fade and leave me with this disappointment
              D               Asus2  Dsus2
  That these words can never show
                         D/F#        Dsus2/G      Dsus2
  When your ride is over and you're hanging by a thread
                               D/F#           Dsus2/G       Bsus4
  When your house of cards is falling just remember what I said
  (Chorus)
      G            D           Asus2                Bsus4
  So when did you decide to embrace you hate to survive
