Chords with lyrics
Verse One:
C majorC
It's 3:33 and my friends are asleep
A minorAm
So I lay on the floor
And I count while I breathe
FF
And maybe I'll die but I'll be at peace
G+G
'Cause at least for tonight I don't have to be me
C majorC
And I got much older than I planned to be
A minorAm
It's not pretty to say, it's not pretty to think
FF
And it comes up my throat, every secret I keep
G+G
I could talk to the mirror or go back to sleep
Chorus:
FF G+G
I'm in a staring contest with the drain of my sink
A minorAm C majorC
And I wish I were empty
I wish I were clean
FF G+G
And I miss being seven, and not seventeen
A minorAm C majorC
'Cause the world looked so good from our fort in the tree
FF G+G
And I miss being younger
I miss being free
A minorAm
When the room wasn't spinning
C majorC
And eyes weren't on me
FF G+G
Back before my reflection got hollow and mean
Am* G* F*
When we were evergreen
Verse Two:
C majorC
It's 3:33 and my eyes have gone green
A minorAm
Haven't felt like myself since Friday the 13th
FF
Burning my baby blankets to use for their heat
G+G
How I'd beg for them back, piles of ash in the creek
C majorC
I'm the girl who grew up and got lost in the store
A minorAm
Sold my soul for the grades, for the status, the score
FF
When your life's lined with gold that you bought with a loan
G+G
You can build your McMansion and never go home
Chorus:
FF G+G
I'm in a staring contest with the drain of my sink
A minorAm C majorC
And I wish I were empty
I wish I were clean
FF G+G
And I miss being seven, and not seventeen
A minorAm C majorC
'Cause the world looked so good from our fort in the tree
FF G+G
And I miss being younger
I miss being free
A minorAm
When the room wasn't spinning
C majorC
And eyes weren't on me
FF G+G
Back before my reflection got hollow and mean
Am* G* F* G+G
When we were evergreen
Outro:
C majorC
Everything just repeats
A minorAm
Clock reads 3:33 AM
Now I get sick on the swings
FF
Scraped my knee and lost my balance
G7G7
And I've never been taller, but the sky's never seemed so far away
G+G C majorC
I read the clock, it's 3:33 again
C majorC
Everything just repeats
A minorAm
Clock reads 3:33 AM
Now I get sick on the swings
FF
I'll never touch the clouds again
We'd outsmart gravity
G+G
Now I'm carsick on the floor
I just want it out of me
C majorC Am* G* F*
I watch the clock as it strikes 3:34
