Mr. Chainsaw Alkaline Trio
I decided to make an acoustic version of this song so I could have a more full
sound when I play it solo. It's great for when you want something to back up
your singing and you don't have a full band. The chords are all correct but
there might be minor typos on chord placement and lyrics. Anyways, if you have
any questions, comments, requests(for acoustic versions of songs), or corrections
e-mail me at nrlsky1@yahoo.com or talk to me on AIM at Q67.

Intro A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D F# E* D Dsus4 DE
[A]When was it that you [Asus4]lost yo[A]ur youth or tr[D]aded[Dsus4] [D]
[A]It for something more[Asus4] for th[A]em to use so j[D]ad[Dsus4]ed[D]
[F#]Why is it that you never said
E*
I love you more than just a friend
[D]I pray this gridlock[Dsus4] never end[D]s
[E]And when we get there just depends
[A]I found out[Asus4] recently that y[A]ou are lea[D]vi[Dsus4]ng[D]
[A]For good I [Asus4]hope I [A]softly tell my [D]ceili[Dsus4]ng[D]
[F#]It's better now to be alive
E*
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
[D]I'm[Dsus4] having [D]night[Dsus4]mares a[D]ll t[Dsus4]he time
[E]Of running out of words that rhyme
[A]Everything that you could never s[E]ay
Would never matter a[F#]nyway
I took a hammer and two[D] nails to my eardr[E]ums long ago
[A]Before that steak knife took my e[E]yes
I looked up to the[F#] sky
For the last thing I would ever see
F[D]or the last time I[E]'d cry
A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D A Asus4 A D Dsus4 D F# E* D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 DE
[A]When was it[Asus4] that you sold your li[A]fe or wa[D]sted[Dsus4] [D]
[A]Every bite [Asus4]of that small sli[A]ce you never t[D]as[Dsus4]ted[D]
[F#]I guess I should be one to talk
E*
There's nights that I can't even walk
[D]There's days I couldn't give a fuck
[E]And in between is where I'm stuck
[A]From blocks[Asus4] away I heard som[A]ebody scre[D]aming[Dsus4] [D]
[A]That small [Asus4]child inside of y[D]ou that you l[Dsus4]eft bleeding
[F#]You stabbed him up not once but twice
E*
Cubicles will now suffice
[D]Som[Dsus4]e say i[D]t's[Dsus4] the ro[D]ll [Dsus4]of the dice
[E]I think they're wrong I know I'm right
[A]Every breath that I could barely b[E]reathe
Could barely make it past my t[F#]eeth
I took a blowtorch to b[D]oth of my lungs a[E] long long time ago
[A]Every step that I could take
[E]Every one more difficult to m[F#]ake
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my le[D]gs a long, lo[E]ng time ago

[A]In case you're wondering
I'm singing abo[D]ut growing up about[E] giving in
[A]In case you're wondering
I'm singing abou[D]t growing up about [E]giving in
[A]In case you're wondering
I'm singing abou[D]t growing up about [E]giving in
[A]In case you're wondering
We're singing about [D]growing up about gi[E]ving in
[A]In case you're wondering
We're singing about [D]growing up about gi[E]ving in
[A]In case you're wondering
We're singing about [D]giving up and givin[E]g in
