C                                    G               F

C                                         G           F
She drinks Bacardi in the morning till it goes to her head
C                                             G            F
And all you want is just to hold her, but she don't go for that
C                                   G         F
She has a hard time coming when she cant hit back

If I fall along the way

pick me up and dust me off.
F#m                         Bm 
and if I get too tired to make it
E                      A
be my breath so I can walk

I'm so scared that I'll never

get put back together
                   A
you're breaking me in

could you paint me better off
F#m                       Bm      E          
could you sympathize with my needs
E                          A
I know you think I need a lot               
                            F#m

just breaking the skin

Its never enough

F#m           D
Start bending me

INTRO: C G Am F

VERSE ONE:

C                                            G
I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
                                                Am
But its feeling just like every other morning before,
                                                   F
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,

C                                                  G
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I
                                                    Am
Started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
                                              F
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?


CHORUS:
Am                                        F
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
F
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out

C
Let's see how far we've come
G
Let's see how far we've come

Am                                       F
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
F
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,

C
Let's see how far we've come
G
Let's see how far we've come

VERSE TWO:

C                                                G
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
                                            Am
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
                                     F
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself

I started running but there's no where to run to

C                                             G
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
                                                          Am
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell

Say your goodbyes if you got someone you can
F
Say goodbye to

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE:

Am
Gone, gone baby, it's all gone
There's no one in the corner
And there's nobody home
Well it was cool, cool
It was just all cool
Now it's over for me
And it's over for you
G

Bass and drums vamp, with a little lead guitar and piano that are low in the mix. The 
guitar interjects occasionally with some staccato strums of the Am and possibly a C/Am. 
it builds up to the stop, the last chord is a G.

LAST CHORUS:

Am                                        F
But I believe the world is burning to the ground
F
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out

C
Let's see how far we've come
G
Let's see how far we've come

Am                                       F
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
F
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,

Longday

D   E      A          F#m
All day staring at the ceiling
       D            E            F#m
Making friends with shadows on my wall
D   E      A          F#m       
All night hearing voices telling me
     D
That I should get some sleep
E
Because tomorrow might be good for something


C#m  D
Hold on
A                E           C#m   D
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown

And I don't know why

I know right now you can't tell
F#m                                   E
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see

A different side of me

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired

    A            F#m        
I'm talking to myself in public

Dodging glances on the train
D     E                   A                F#m
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me

I can hear them whisper
       E                                     C#m         D
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me

Somehow I've lost my mind

&quot;3 A.M.&quot; is the third single and the third track from Matchbox Twenty's debut album Yourself or Someone Like You. This song was written by Rob Thomas and was inspired by his mother's battle with cancer. When Thomas was 12, his mother was given six months to live. But by the time he left home at 17 she was alive and well. Thomas felt that after her illness, his mother failed to take life seriously, preferring to go and party. This song is about his frustration and loneliness during this time. He chose the time 3 a.m. because this was when the bars shut.

You could pick the time and the place

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

     G  
The speed...            

Em
      City...

        D
And...  arm...
    
    C  Em        D
And I      had a feeling...

    C  Em        D
And I      had a feeling...

C           D
be...       be... 

Suggestion: during the verses, it can sound pretty cool if you
get a friend to strum the chords: C, G, Em, D in the background
:)
