Alkaline Trio – Sun Burns (Guitar)

G
Came up to the surface

         Em                           D
I cannot remember how long I've been swimming

C        G
Drowning

                                           Em
'Cause I've grown accustomed to all of the sharks

                       D
And they're not really breathing

C
Uh huh

                 Em       Bm        C
Now I won't just mind the gap, I'll fill it

             Em       D           C
If I'm gonna eat this mosquito of anger

          G                Bm          C
I haven't really made the most of this life

                  G                              Bm       C
From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right

           G       Em       Bm         C
One time I told my heart to shut up

                G     D            C
But I know that I can win back her trust

               G         D              C   
I owe at least that much to the both of us

G                                 Em        
Developed a knack for this dull conversation

               D                      C
I'd sharpen my wit, but what's my motivation?

G                                        Em
Don't need to be clever to tell you that I'm just

                      D                          C
A total mess and that I must throw that old self away

           Em        Bm         C
If I don't get right now I will always

           Em                      D                   C
Eat what's decayed, sleep with the snakes here in this cold grave

          G                Bm          C
I haven't really made the most of this life

                  G                              Bm       C
From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right

           G       Em       Bm         C
One time I told my heart to shut up

                G     D            C
But I know that I can win back her trust

               G         D              C   
I owe at least that much to the both of us 

Em
I was waiting (Waiting)

C                                 G
For this to happen to happen to me

              D
But nothing's happening

Em        C               G 
I feel my skin as the sun burns in

                         D
And something in me says let it

                           G             Em
'Cause one more look might change it all

Bm         C        G             Em
One more word might change it all

Bm        C        G             Em
One more try might change it all

Bm        C         G            Em
One more kiss might change it all

C   Bm   Am         G
One more look might change it all
