Tuning: Standard (eg E, A, D, G, B, e)
One of my favouites by Alkaline Trio, which I think
needs tabbing out fully and properly. This is the
entire song, which to the best of my musical knowledge
is correct. It might take you a little while to get
upto the speed of the recording, but its great for
playing with your mates. Here we go!!!

Lyrics:
I’ve got a dying urge to feel the way you do,
Too close for comford bed, and breakfast in a spoon.
The shortest breath of your young life,
A long walk home in friday night,
You made, one last stop at the store.
So close to perfect, swear to hell, thought it was you,
Well this bouncing baby boy now’s turning baby blue.
I’ve got your pictures on my walls,
I’ve got a long list of calls, I must make,
To your existing family.
You had 9 lives and one by one you chewed ’em up.
Your final coffin nail’s been driven far too much.
This won’t take long, you said, I’m not going far.
Go wait in the car, go wait in the car.
I often wonder what it feels like to be you,
A mess like this stuck on your hands with crazy glue,
Ran out of time, no kiss goodbye,
I wish I could learn to let this sleeping dog die,
Without lying to myself.
You had 9 lives and one by one you chewed ’em up.
Your final coffin nail’s been driven far too much.
This won’t take long, you said, I’m not going far.
Go wait in the car, go wait in the car.
You had 9 lives and one by one you chewed ’em up.
Your final coffin nail’s been driven far too much.
This won’t take long, you said, I’m not going far.
Go wait in the car, go wait in the car.
Thats the lot!!! Any problems, listen to the recording.
ENJOY!!!
