[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
