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.
