Verse 1
Em 
G 
A 
5 a .m. right before the sunrise
Em 
G 
D 
Silence of sand, I see stars in the sky
C 
Need some sparkle for
D 
A 
my troubled mind
Em 
Most of the day,
G 
A 
I rifle through my notebook
Em 
Page after page filled with
G 
D 
scribbles and blinds
C 
D 
A 
Make a mantra for confession time
Am 
C 
F 
We keep our distance now
G 
Both of us agree
Em 
that we need a little downtime
Am 
Do we need to create
F 
G 
some breathing room?
Em 
G 
A 
Carnival rides, tickets at the turnstile
Em 
After a while,
G 
D 
we're given to the slide
C 
Make some thunder,
D 
A 
wait for the rising tide
Em 
G 
A 
Cornered with my back to the wall
Em 
G 
D 
Waiting for the static to fall
C 
D 
Take a number if you're
A 
so inclined
Am 
C 
D 
F 
Hundreds of days in a haze of confusion
C 
Am 
F 
I feel so safe in  my breathing room
Am 
Em 
Cracks   in the glass,
F 
deeper fragments of sunlight
G 
Blue, my neighbor, all the citizens
C 
I'll remember truth
D 
F 
as I'm rolling the tape back
C 
Faced with the facts,
Am 
F 
I'll be leaping soon, yeah
Em 
Call my way back to the
F 
place where I feel so
D 
F 
C 
Safe inside my breathing room
D 
F 
Here's the cracking of sunshine
C 
Am 
F 
I'll be leaving soon, yeah
Em 
F 
To the place where I feel so
G 
F 
Safe inside my breathing room
G 
F 
Safe inside my breathing room
G 
Am 
C 
Safe inside my  breathing room
F 
G 
Em 
Oh, yeah
G 
A 
You
Em 
G 
D
