This Could Be Love chords - 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 BB & E MajorE note
(string 5 & 6)to every chord (exept for the F# minorF#m). Play the chords like this:

C# minorC#m   (x46600)
Aadd9Aadd9 (002200)
F# minorF#m   (2442xx)
BB     (x24400)
E MajorE     (024400)

Feel free to comment or correct! Have fun!

Intro:
F# minorF#m


Chorus:

C# minorC#m
I've got a book of matches

F# minorF#m
I've got a can of kerosene

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

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

    F# minorF#m
I touched myself had thoughts of flames

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

 Aadd9Aadd9
Thinking of you wide awake for days

F# minorF#m
Wide awake for days

Verse:

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

You couldn't crack a smile

I didn't catch your name

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

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

 C# minorC#m
I swear it's not contagious

              BB
In four short steps we can erase this


Chorus:

E MajorE
Step one, slit my throat

     BB
Step two, play in my blood

     E MajorE
Step three,cover me in dirty sheets

        BB
and run laughing out of the house

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

  BB
You took me hostage and made your demands

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

I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me

I'd do the same if I saw me
I swear it's not contagious
I swear to God it's not contagious
