It's a simple chord progression, but it has a lot of style and dynamics involved. Enjoy! Intro: D-D-C-A (Verse 1) -------------- D D C A It's 3AM. And I'm awake and my heart is still dreaming. D D C A It's 3AM. And outside I hear the souls still screaming. D D C A It's been so long, you know since my head's been this clear. D D C A Just like a ship lost in the night. I just don't know which way I should steer. (Chorus) -------------- D A D A But I'll keep chasing my dreams. And only you can make them real. D A And I pour my heart out every night. D A But do you know the way I feel? (Verse 2) -------------- D D C A Sometimes this is work. And don't you know sometimes this is play. D D C Sometimes you are listening to me. And sometimes you don't hear a damn word A that I say. D D C A Sometimes there's a girl. Sometimes I go home alone. D D C A And I guess it's no wonder right now. That I do very well on my own. (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat verse 1 slower and arpegiate the chords) End
