3 33

C
It's 3:33 and my friends are asleep
        Am
So I lay on the floor

And I count while I breathe
     F
And maybe I'll die but I'll be at 
peace
           G
'Cause at least for tonight I don't 
have to be me
      C
And I got much older than I planned 
to be
            Am
It's not pretty to say, it's not 
pretty to think
             F
And it comes up my throat, every 
secret I keep
             G
I could talk to the mirror or go 
back to sleep


[Chorus]
              F                  
I'm in a staring contest with the 
   G
drain of my sink
       Am                   C
And I wish I were empty, I wish I 
were clean
      F                      G
And I miss being seven, and not 
seventeen
            Am                     
'Cause the world looked so good 
       C
from our fort in the tree
         F                    G
And I miss being younger, I miss 
being free
Am
When the room wasn't spinning
     C
And eyes weren't on me
          F                    G
Back before my reflection got hollow
 and mean
Continues after the ad

         Am*    G*      F*
When we were evergreen


[Verse Two]
     C
It's 3:33 and my eyes have gone 
green
         Am
Haven't felt like myself since 
Friday the 13th
         F
Burning my baby blankets to use for 
their heat
         G
How I'd beg for them back, piles of 
ash in the creek
         C
I'm the girl who grew up and got 
lost in the store
         Am
Sold my soul for the grades, for the
 status, the score
            F
When your life's lined with gold 
that you bought with a loan
          G
You can build your McMansion and 
never go home


[Chorus]
           F               G
I'm in a staring contest with the 
drain of my sink
       Am                    C
And I wish I were empty, I wish I 
were clean
      F                      G
And I miss being seven, and not 
seventeen
             Am                    
'Cause the world looked so good 
           C
from our fort in the tree
         F                   G
And I miss being younger, I miss 
being free
Am
When the room wasn't spinning
        C
And eyes weren't on me
          F                     G
Back before my reflection got hollow
 and mean
         Am*    G*      F*       
When we were evergreen
   G

 C
Everything just repeats
                 Am
Clock reads 3:33 AM

Now I get sick on the swings
                               F
Scraped my knee and lost my balance
And I've never been taller, but the 
                      G7
sky's never seemed so far away
    G                         C
I read the clock, it's 3:33 again
C
Everything just repeats
                 Am
Clock reads 3:33 AM

Now I get sick on the swings
                              F
I'll never touch the clouds again

We'd outsmart gravity
                         G
Now I'm carsick on the floor

I just want it out of me
    C                         Am* 
I watch the clock as it strikes 
G* F*
3:34
