[Intro] (with Riff #1) C# F# A# G# (2x) [Verse]
C#
Here we go again

                             F#
Pack your bags and leave all caution to the wind

               D#               F#
I've got a bad feeling that the roads you take

          A#             G#
Will take longer than we planned
[Pre-Chorus]
           A#                     G#
We used to drive all night on the 319

        C#                              F#
Singing songs with our friends that you threw away

    A#                    G#
You know, you dropped the bomb that killed the night
[Chorus]
C#        F#                 A#                G#
If I were you, I'd cancel every plan that I've made today

C#           F#            A#                 G#
And drive as far away to a place where no one knows my name
(With Riff #1)
C# F# A#        G#
         It's 3AM and I'm lonely
[Verse]
C#
Here's the place I'm at now

                     F#
At least you made me better with my goodbyes

               A#
Consider it a lesson to learn how to get through

        G#
Feeling hopeless for the first time
[Pre-Chorus]
           A#                     G#
We used to drive all night on the 319

        C#                              F#
Singing songs with our friends that you threw away

    A#                    G#
You know, you dropped the bomb that killed the night

F#             G#
But we made it out alive
[Chorus]
C#        F#                 A#                G#
If I were you, I'd cancel every plan that I've made today

C#           F#            A#                 G#
And drive as far away to a place where no one knows my name

C#        F#                 A#                G#
If I were you, I'd take back everything I once claimed to be

C#           F#                    A#
I'd sing old songs that we used to sing

       G#
It's 3AM and I'm lonely

C#     F#      A#
Lonely, lonely

       G#
It's 3AM and I'm lonely

C#     F#      A#
Lonely, lonely

       G#
It's 3AM and I'm lonely

It's 3AM and I'm lonely
N.C. Lonely, lonely
                        C#
It's 3AM and I'm lonely
