Tom: C
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
