This Song is from Alkaline Trio’s Cd Good Mourning – it’s a damn good acoustic
song! This is the second time I tabbed something. There are more difficult ways to play this
but this version sounds also pretty good. Also there are no chords for this osng jsut
Just follow the chords exactly where they are above the Lyric lines. Have fun!


Intro 4x -

                                
It's about time that I came clean with you
                                    
I'm no longer fine, I'm no longer running smooth
                                      
I thought that I found myself under something new
                                    
Just one more line I repeat over and over again
                                          
'Till I'm blue in the face with a choking regret
                                          
Because I talk in circles 'round you on my bed
                A          E            B            G#  --- A
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
                
When you left that night


Instrumental: 2x Verse Chords


                             
It's about time that you got sick of me
                                
No longer fun, and so far from interesting
                                     
I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old
                                   
Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold
                             
In disgraced with a shameful regret
                                   
As I talk in tongues to myself in my bed
           A              E            B              G# --- A
Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside
                
When you left that night


Intro 2x


                      Ex                       
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell
                      Ex                       
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time
                      Ex                       
And all that followed fell like mercury to hell                             E
                               (play   little bit longer)
Somehow we lost our heads for the last time

                                 
And I don't dream since I quit sleeping
                                 
And I haven't slept since I met you
                                            
And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime
               
And neither can I
              A -------- B(Stop)
So what do you say?
                 E (let ring)
Your coffin, or mine?
