The day after I submitted this tab, I was able to see a live performance of this song
(amazing) and I think I got a better grasp on how it is supposed to be played.
 
With Aadd9, her guitar player Luis tends to put his pinky on the G string on and off
(I previously posted that he did the same thing on the high E string, but I was wrong).
Listen to the song and you should get what I am talking about (ie. does it
during "Hypocrites you're all here for the very same REASON")
Similarly, it can also be done while playing E in places like "hands" during the
chorus. (B7sus4)  Just play with the pinky on the G string again.

[Verse]
Aadd9                                     G
  2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake
                                     D
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?
                                         Aadd9
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season."
Aadd9                                                G
  Yeah, we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
                                       D
Like they have any right at all to criticize
                                              Aadd9
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
 
 
[Chorus]
           Bm
'Cause you can't jump the track
            D
We're like cars on a cable
    A                        E
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table
Bm                    D
No one can find the rewind button, girl
   A                        E
So cradle your head in your hands
   G    D       Aadd9          G    D       Aadd9
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe
 
 
[Verse]
Aadd9                                G
  In May he turned 21 on the base of Fort Bliss
                                               D
"Just a day," he said down to the flask in his fist
                                         Aadd9
"Ain't been sober since maybe October of last year."
Aadd9                                                G
  And Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while
                                          D
But my God it's so beautiful when the boy smiles
                                      Aadd9
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it
 
 
[Chorus]
          Bm
Cause you can't jump the track
           D
We're like cars on a cable
    A                        E
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table
Bm                    D
No one can find the rewind button, boys
A                           E
So cradle your head in your hands
    G   D       Aadd9           G   D        Aadd9
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe
 
 
[Bridge]
          Bm                        D
There's a light at each end of this tunnel
                       A                        E
You shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
      Bm                                D
These mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
   A                    E
If you only try turnin' around
 
 
[Verse]
Aadd9                                G
  2 AM and I'm still awake writing a song
                                      D
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me
                         Aadd9
Threatnin' the life it belongs to
Aadd9                                       G
  And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
                                             D
Cause these words are my diary screamin' out loud
                                            Aadd9
And I know that you'll use them however you want to
 
 
[Chorus]
          Bm
Cause you can't jump the track
           D
We're like cars on a cable
    A                         E
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table
Bm                    D
No one can find the rewind button, now
A                  E
Sing it if you understand
 
 
[Outro]
    G   D         Aadd9         G    D        Aadd9
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe
    G   D         Aadd9         G    D        Aadd9
And breathe, just breathe, whoa breathe, just breathe
 
G   D   Aadd9  G  D        Aadd9

Pretty accurate tab mate. Just one thing though: I have a video of Anna on Leno and the guitarist plays G as x0543x during the verse. It doesn't really matter, just gives it a slightly different sound.

Good tab. One thing though. The first chord you have tabbed out is just an A chord. Bottom to top it's spelled A C# E E. When he does the thing with his pinky (if I understood correctly, he puts it on the 7th fret on the G string), it becomes A sus. Other than that, great job.
