Mr. Chainsaw Alkaline Trio
This is probablly my favorite alkaline trio song, and I like to play it acoustic
so this is how i play it.
[A]When was it that you lost your youth or [E]traded
[A]It for something more for them to use so [D]jaded
[A]Why is it that you never said
[E]I love you more than just a friend
[F#m]I pray this gridlock never ends
[D]And when we get there [E]just depends
[A]I found out recently that you are [E]leaving
[A]For good I hope I softly tell my [D]ceiling
[A]It's better now to be alive
[D]Sleeping is my 9 to 5
[F#m]I'm having nightmares all the time
[D]Of running out of [E]words that rhyme
[A]Everything that you could never [E]say
Would never matter any[F#m]way
I took a hammer and two [D]nails to my [E]eardrums long [A]ago
[A]Before that steak knife took my [E]eyes
I looked up to the [F#m]sky
For the last thing I would [D]ever see
For [E]the last time I'd [A]cry
[A]When was it that you sold your life or [E]wasted
Every [A]bite of that small slice you never [D]tasted
[A]I guess I should be one to talk
[E]There's nights that I can't even walk
[F#m]There's days I couldn't give a f**k
[D]And in between is [E]where I'm stuck
[A] [E]
That small [A]child inside of you that you left [D]bleeding
[A]You stabbed him up not once but twice
[E]Cubicles will now suffice
[F#m]Some say it's the roll of the dice
[D]I think they're wrong I [E]know I'm right
[A]Every breath that I could barely [E]breathe
Could barely make it past my [F#m]teeth
I took a blowtorch to both [D]of my lungs a [E]long long time a[A]go
[A]And every step that i could [E]take
Each one more difficult to [F#m]make
Mr. Chainsaw came and [D]took my legs a [E]long, long time a[A]go
[A]In case youre wonder[E]ing were singing
[F#m]About growing up, [D]about giving [E]in
[A]In case youre wonder[E]ing were singing
[F#m]About growing up[D]
About giving [E]up and giving [A]in
thats it, pretty basic but fun to play
