D-DU-UDU
You've  been having trouble  staying asleep
 You've been waking  up at 4:12
 You roll  the voices over  in your head
 Then you try  to put them neatly  on the shelf
 You watch the sun rise  you saw the darkness  had no choice  before the dawn
 With your own eyes  and then  you broke out laughing  from a yawn
 You said
 ~CHORUS~
I'm  so sorry  I've  been so down
 I  started doubting  things could ever  turn around
 And I began  to believe  that all  we are  is material
 It's nonsensical
 ~VERSE 2~
So  you walk outside  and everything's new
 You're looking  at the world  with new eyes
 As if you'd never  seen a sky  before that's blue
 As if you'd never  seen a sky  in your whole life
 And then the phone rings  as it turns  out you're already late
 And now you're wondering  was peace  just a temporary state
 ~CHORUS 2~
You're  waiting tables  and  parking cars  and
 You've been  selling cellphones  at the  shopping mall
 And you began  to believe  that all  you are  is material
 It's nonsensical
 ~INTERLUDE~
 X
 ~CHORUS 3~
I'm  so sorry  I've  been so down
 I  started doubting  things could ever  turn around
 I still  can't believe  that all  we are
 And that all  of our dreams  are nothing more  than material
 ~BRIDGE~
Souls aren't built of stones
 Sticks and bones
 Oh oh oh oh  REPEAT THE OH PART 4 TIMES.
 ~OUTRO~
Souls  aren't built of stone  |
 Souls aren't built  of stone |X
  |
 Sticks and bones and |
Souls  aren't built of stone
 I hope you enjoy this interpretation of "4:12", and that it is easy to
 follow.
 Peace, Love, I'm out.
