This Could Be Love chords by Alkaline Trio

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!

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

I've got a can of kerosene

I've got some bad ideas involving you and me

Step two, play in my blood

and run laughing out of the house

You took me hostage and made your demands

I swear it's not contagious
I swear to God it's not contagious
