This is my first tab. I'm sure of 95%. It's one of my favorite song of Staind and nobody
transcribed a tab for it. This is the acoustic version not the studio of this song and
very easy to learn. For the who wants the album version I'll try to tab it soon. If
wants this song or other b-sides of STAIND message me at juicydookie@hotmail.com
btw I speak french, sorry for my bad english
J'AIME LES PATATES EN TABRNAK!

And for the bridge it's the same thing than the chorus.
Lyrics:
It's 3 AM it's cold outside and you can't sleep
Is it from your conscience talking to the skeletons you keep
Every time you try to speak only craziness comes out
And I can't turn the other cheek
And you can't help how this comes out
(Chorus)
So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive
Cause that's not what got us here
It's 8 AM and still no sleep
But you don't care
I don't know why I keep on calling
Does it get us anywhere?
Cause every time I try to speak
You never let my words come out
And I can't turn the other cheek
I can't help how this comes out
(Chorus)
So when did you decide to embrace what you hate to survive
Cause that's not what got us here
(Bridge)
Honestly I don't 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 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
That these words can never show
When your ride is over and you're hanging by a thread
When your house of cards is falling just remember what I said
(Chorus)
So when did you decide to embrace you hate to survive
Cause that's not what got us here
(Bridge)
And Honestly I don't know how you could see
Something you once saw in me
Just another volunteer
For you to bleed
