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]

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.
