Standard (EADGBE)

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[2]

~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[9]

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.
