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 & Enote
(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!

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#mVerse:
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

I don't blame you for walking away

I'd do the same if I saw me

I swear it's not contagious
B
In four short steps we can erase this

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

You took me hostage and made your demands

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
