This Could Be Love chords by Alkaline Trio

Guitar chords with lyrics

This is a acoustic version of Alkaline Trio's "This Could Be Love".
You can play the standard chords but I would suggest to add a high B & E note
(string 5 & 6)to every chord (exept for the F#m). Play the chords like this:

C#m   (x46600)
Aadd9 (002200)
F#m   (2442xx)
B     (x24400)
E     (024400)

Feel free to comment or correct! Have fun!


Intro:
F#m

Chorus:

C#m
I've got a book of matches

F#m
I've got a can of kerosene

F#m
I've got some bad ideas involving you and me

C#m
I don't blame you for walking away

    F#m
I touched myself had thoughts of flames

  C#m
I shat the bed and laid there in it

 Aadd9
Thinking of you wide awake for days

F#m
Wide awake for days


Intro:
F#m


Verse:

F#m
And I found you tongue-tied in my twisted little brain

C#m
You couldn't crack a smile

F#m
I didn't catch your name

C#m
I don't blame you for walking away

    F#m
I'd do the same if I saw me

 C#m
I swear it's not contagious

              B
In four short steps we can erase this


Chorus:

E
Step one, slit my throat

     B
Step two, play in my blood

     E
Step three,cover me in dirty sheets

        B
and run laughing out of the house

      B
Step four, stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse your crimson hands

  B
You took me hostage and made your demands

Add9                           B
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one


Intro:
F#m


Verse: F#m (3x)
       B   (1x)

I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me
It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
I don't blame you for walking away
I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
I swear to God it's not contagious



Chorus:

E
Step one, slit my throat

     B
Step two, play in my blood

     E
Step three,cover me in dirty sheets

        B
and run laughing out of the house

      B
Step four, stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse your crimson hands

  B
You took me hostage and made your demands

Add9                           B
I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one


Bridge:

This could be love - love for fire

This could be love - love for fire

E)
This could be love for fire forevermore
