Matchbox 20 - 3 A.M. (Piano/Acoustic)

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

She says
It's 3 A.M. I must be lonely
When 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

She's got a little bit of something, and God it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world she believes that she's got it all
She swears 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

She says baby
It's 3 A.M. I must be lonely
When she says baby
and yah well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
Says the rain's gonna wash away I believe... this

She believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall, it has been stuck at three for days, and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
Yah, but outside it's stopped raining

And she says baby
Well it's 3 A.M. I must be lonely
When she says baby
Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away I believe... I believe it
Well it's 3 A.M. I must be lonely. Lonely.
And yah well she says baby, baby, well
See I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away I believe this

greatest version of 3AM... so much better than Storyteller or studio versions!

[tez1111]

I just realized a couple of days ago how many songs you have out there that I have enjoyed, you are special. I would have loved to leave positive comments on all of them but I guess there must be a quota or something for newbies because it keeps stopping me-just know that I would never stop listening. We need your music to help us make it through some days...

So awesome! Best Song Ever!

[m015094]

Is it wrong that this song makes me cry?

[GATAMONAE]

My favorite I can't sleep song... I'm battling an un winnable war with cancer...

[1995Juliet]

If we could get every world leader to listen to this, every terrorist, every person who has ever picked up a gun meaning to harm somebody else, everybody who has ever struck their child... there would be no more violence in this world. We'd all be crying too hard.

Rob, you and your talented band stopped me from killing myself. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have made it past 17. Thank you, for your inspirational and moving music. I hope one day I can meet you, just so I can tell you in person how much the work you guys have shared with us has impacted me and my life. Now I know that it's just another long day, always. And you pulled out some hope for me.
