Its  3am its cold outside  and you  cant sleep
is  it from your conscious talking  to the skeletons  you keep?
everytime  i try to speak  only crazyness  comes out
and  she cant turn the other  cheek and you cant help  how it comes out
 So when  did you decide  to embrace  what you hate to survive
 cause thats  not what got us here
Its  8am and still no  sleep but  you dont care
I  dont know why i keep on calling  doesnt  get us anywhere
everytime  i try to speak  you never  let my words come out
and  i cant turn the other cheek  and i cant  help how this comes out
 So when  did you decide  to embrace  what you hate to survive
 cause thats  not what got us here
 and honestly  i dont know  how you could see  something you  once saw in me
 just another  volunteer  to wonder  if
 you  ever lie awake  in bed and think  about the things  you said
your  dedication shows  that you cant see  your eyes are closed
and  all the promises  you made to  me they seem to  fade and leave me
with  this disappointment  that these words  could never show
 Bridge/Verse:
When  your ride is over  and youre hanging  by a thread
As  your house of cards is falling  just remember  what i said
 So when  did you decide  to embrace  what you hate to survive
 cause thats  not what got us here
 and  honestly  i dont know  how you could see  something you  once saw in me
 just another  volunteer....  for you to bleed
 for the verses focus on the bass notes first and then do the strum pattern
 focusing on the high e string on up strums and for the chorus's you can just strum the pattern
