3 A.M.

by Guadalcanal Diary

Am             Em       Am                Em
Gazing through bottles, tables of endless glass
Am                         C          G      F
Light shine through and it seems like heaven
Am           Em          Am              Em
Take all the bottles and put them end to end
Am                  C           G   F
You could touch the sky another way

Refrain:
    A                F
    When did you get up today
        A             F
    You never used to sleep so late
    C                G              Am  Em
    Never mind, it's always three a.m.

Smokey rooms and laughter, scattered bits of conversation
Faces melt into the air like rain
You can laugh: he won't know; that's not him you see
He's never really there and he doesn't know the time

    [REFRAIN]

<solo: D - C - G - Am, D - C - G - Am, D - C - G - F>

Morning comes without a clue, he sees the day through ruined eyes
And wonders who the stranger is with fallen prophesy
Everytime the same old thing: someone comes in with the night
And locks him in this foolish cell and throws away the key

    [REFRAIN twice]

< Am - Em - F>
