Good Fucking Bye Tab

by Matt Skiba


Author/Artist: Matt Skiba
Title: Good Fucking Bye
Album: Split with Kevin Seconds
Aim sn: Q67

Remember to tune your guitar one half step down.  Anyways, the other tabs for this song
incorrect.  This is the exact way Matt plays it live.  The other tab is not only
but it does not allow for the quick strumming pattern right at each chord change.  The
strumming between each progression is not tabbed.  It sounds great without it anyways.  Just
to the song if you want to learn it.  Also, lightly mute the open strings to achieve the
heard in the song.  I'd like to thank my lovely girlfriend, Alex, who I will never have
say good fucking bye to, for introducing me to Alkaline Trio.  Anyways, enjoy.  P.S. 
don't jack my tab and take credit for it and post it on other sites.  Ask
first.

Play riff twice then begin singing

So you broke down, trying to leave town
I broke down crying on your return
You left me feeling hopeful
I'll never see your face again
You made for a bad lover's liver
You stole all the covers and busted my head
You made me such an asshole
I wish we'd never met


[ch]A5[/ch]
I'm tired of being bored
I'm through with the headaches
[ch]F#5[/ch]                       [ch]E[/ch]
Hiding my hands that tremble like earthquakes
[ch]A5[/ch]                                  [ch]D5[/ch]
Under the table, under the daytime sky
[ch]E[/ch]             [ch]A5[/ch]
Good Fucking Bye

Intro/verse riff twice without singing then begin singing 

And when you lose hope
It's hard to cope
Watching the tyranny with sober eyes
The daybreak and sunset
All hours in between are spent murdering time
You made for a bad lover's liver
You stole all the covers and fucked up my head
You made me such an asshole
I wish we'd never met

[ch]A5[/ch]
I'm tired of being bored
I'm through with the headaches
[ch]F#5[/ch]                       [ch]E[/ch]
Hiding my hands that tremble like earthquakes
[ch]A5[/ch]                                  [ch]D5[/ch]
Under the table, under the daytime sky
