G Cadd9 x4

Verse 1

She says it's cold outside and hands me her raincoat   
She's always worried about things like that   
Well, she says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault   
And she only sleeps while it's raining
And she screams and her voice is straining

Chorus

She says baby  
It's 3 AM, I must be lonely  
And she says baby  
Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe it

Interlude

G Cadd9 x4

Verse 2

She's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing   
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all   
And she swears that the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to   
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams, and her voice is straining

Chorus

And she says baby  
It's 3 AM, I must be lonely  
Well, heaven she says baby  
Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this

Interlude

G Cadd9 x4

Verse 3

She believes that life isn't made up of all that she used to   
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days and days   
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway, yeah  
But outside it's stopped raining

Chorus

Yeah, she says baby  
Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely  
Well, heaven she says baby  
Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe...
thi-is 
Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely  
Well, heaven she says baby  
Well, I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
