Alkaline Trio – Mr Chainsaw (Guitar)

G                                       C
When was it that you lost your youth or traded

G                                       C
It for something more for them to use so jaded

Em
Why is it that you never said

D
I love you more than just a friend

C
I pray this gridlock never ends

D
And when we get there just depends

G                                 C
I found out recently that you are leaving

G                                 C
For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling

Em
It's better now to be alive

D
Sleeping is my 9 to 5

C              
I'm having nightmares all the time

D
Of running out of words that rhyme

G                               D
Everything that you could never say

                   Em
Would never matter anyway

                        C                         G
I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago

G                               D
Before that steak knife took my eyes

                   Em
I looked up to the sky

                           D
For the last thing I would ever see

                      G
For the last time I'd cry

G                                      C
When was it that you sold your life or wasted

G                                        C
Every bite of that small slice you never tasted

Em
I guess I should be one to talk

D
There's nights that I can't even walk

C
There's days I couldn't give a fuck

D
And in between is where I'm stuck

G                                 C
From blocks away I heard somebody screaming

G                                            C
That small child inside of you that you left bleeding

Em
You stabbed him up not once but twice

D
Cubicles will now suffice

C
Some say it's the roll of the dice

D
I think they're wrong I know I'm right

G                                D
Every breath that I could barely breathe

                             Em                        
Could barely make it past my teeth

                           C                            G
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago

G                       D
Every step that I could take

                            Em
Each one more difficult to make

                      C                              G
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago

G
In case you're wondering

            C                D
I'm singing about growing up about giving in
