This is a great ballad. 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)
