Intro: G D Bm A (x2) 

verse 1 
         G   D 
It ain't 3 a.m 
Bm           A 
And I ain't been drinking 
               G            D 
But it's been one of those days 
Bm             A 
That's got my head spinning 
          G            D 
I been rushing around till I'm dizzy 
          Bm                A 
Feeling lonely in the crowd of the city 
         G   D 
It ain't 3 a.m 
                    A 
And I ain't been drinking 
 
              G    D 
But I need a ride home 
         Bm                      A       G         D 
To that little town where I'll always be 16 years old 
         Bm                     A                   G    D 
I need a two lane, can't pass, foot on the gas, go real slow 
         Bm                           A 
A little magic, little static on the radio 
Em                           D                   G 
Mom and Daddy sitting on the front porch waving hello 
               G     D  Bm A 
Yeah I need a ride home 

verse 2 
         G         D   Bm            A 
I wanna hear the click of that old transmission 
          G     D 
I need a quick trip 
Bm                  A 
Back to that table in the kitchen 
         G                 D 
I wanna see that little creek rushing 
       Bm                   A 
Right next to those fields full of nothing 
          G       D                           A 
I need a strong shot of something I've been missing 

               G    D 
Yeah, I need a ride home 
         Bm                      A       G         D 
To that little town where I'll always be 16 years old 
         Bm                     A                   G    D 
I need a two lane, can't pass, foot on the gas, go real slow 
         Bm                         A 
A little magic, little static on the radio 
Em                           D                   G 
Mom and Daddy sitting on the front porch waving hello 
               G D  Bm A 
Yeah I need a ride home
