[Verse 1]
C  Bm        Am   F
   Caroline says

C        Bm               Am    F  C  Bm
   As she gets up off the floor

Am      Em        Am
   Why is it that you beat me

D               G
   It isn't any fun
[Verse 2]
C  Bm        Am   F
   Caroline says

C         Bm           Am    F  C  Bm
   As she makes up her eye

Am                    Em         Am
   You ought to learn more about yourself

D                       G
   Think more than just I
[Chorus]
C                F
   But she's not afraid to die

C                    F
   All of her friends call her "Alaska"

C                             F
   When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

   C       F  C   G
   What is in her mind

   C       F  C   G
   What is in her mind
[Verse 3]
C  Bm        Am   F
   Caroline says

C        Bm                Am    F  C  Bm
   As she gets up from the floor

Am               Em       Am
   You can hit me all you want to

D                          G
   But I don't love you anymore
[Verse 4]
C  Bm        Am   F
   Caroline says

C        Bm         Am   F  C  Bm
   While biting her lip

Am            Em            Am
   Life is meant to be more than this

D                    G
   And this is a bum trip
[Chorus]
C                F
   But she's not afraid to die

C                    F
   All of her friends call her "Alaska"

C                             F
   When she takes speed, they laugh and ask her

   C       F  C   G
   What is in her mind

   C       F  C   G
   What is in her mind
[Bridge]
Dm                 G                    C
   She put her fist through the window pane

Dm               G
   It was such a funny feeling
[Outro]
C         F            G
   It's so cold in Alaska

C         F            G
   It's so cold in Alaska

C         F            G
   It's so cold in Alaska
C Bm Am G C
