3 33 chords by Dalynn

• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse One:
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                     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                            C
'Cause the world looked so good 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


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                               C
'Cause the world looked so good 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*          G
When we were evergreen


Outro:
 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
                                                          G7
And I've never been taller, but the 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* G* F*
I watch the clock as it strikes 3:34
