Alkaline Trio – Minds Like Minefields (Guitar)

[Intro]
Em         G       C
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

    D
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Em
Once upon a time

             G
When we both lost our minds

        C         D
And our memories

              Em
Destroyed our common sense

       G
And the letters sent

   C           D
Suicidal tendencies

                Em
Deployed like a parachute

          G
You had a hole in you

           C                    D
As we went tumbling through the sky

         Em
The only thing I'd change

       G
Is the fear and rage

        C               D
And the hell I put you through

   C
So sorry

Em
And I can't get up the nerve

   Bm              C
To look you in the eyes as I'm leaving

Em
And I can't go on

              C                 G              D
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings

[Interlude]
Em         G       C
Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

    D
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Em
I'm at a loss for words

         (G)
As the tables turned

           C           D
You placed me upon the wheel

        Em
In your torture chamber

G
My remains were

C                    D
Left next to my last meal

        Em
Gone without a trace

          G
You went off to taste

          C               D
The fruit of the afterlife

     Em
As I sit and stir

     G
Nightmares recur

        C
Haven't slept a wink

    D    C
In forty days or nights

Em
And I can't get up the nerve

   Bm              C
To look you in the eyes as I'm leaving

Em
And I can't go on

              C                 G              D
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings

Em
Now and again

          Bm
Forgotten friends

            C
Crossing my mind like a minefield

Em
Stopping to stare

             C                G     D
Asking "do I dare defuse this or disarm my..."

           Em     C D
"Disarm myself?"

Em
And I can't get up the nerve

   Bm              C
To look you in the eyes as I'm leaving

Em
And I can't go on

              C                 G              D
This same old song and dance is murder on your feelings

Em
Now and again

          Bm
Forgotten friends

            C
Crossing my mind like a minefield

Em
Stopping to stare

             C                G     D          Em
Asking "do I dare defuse this or disarm my..."
