This Could Be Lovev4

This is a acoustic version of Alkaline Trio's "This Could Be Love".

You can play the standard chords but I would suggest to add a high B & E note

(string 5 & 6)to every chord (exept for the F#m). Play the chords like this:

C#m (x46600)

Aadd9 (002200)

F#m (2442xx)

B (x24400)

E (024400)

Feel free to comment or correct! Have fun!

Intro:

Chorus:

I've got a book of matches

I've got a can of kerosene

I've got some bad ideas involving you and me

I don't blame you for walking away

I touched myself had thoughts of flames

I shat the bed and laid there in it

Thinking of you wide awake for days

Wide awake for days

Intro:

Verse:

And I found you tongue-tied in my twisted little brain

You couldn't crack a smile

I didn't catch your name

I don't blame you for walking away

I'd do the same if I saw me

I swear it's not contagious

In four short steps we can erase this

Chorus:

Step one, slit my throat

Step two, play in my blood

Step three,cover me in dirty sheets

and run laughing out of the house

E Add9 B

Step four, stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse your crimson hands

You took me hostage and made your demands

Add9 B

I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

Intro:

I'm like a broken record

I've got a needle scratching me

It injects the poison of alcohol I.V.

I don't blame you for walking away

I'd do the same if I saw me

I swear it's not contagious

I swear to God it's not contagious

Chorus:

Step one, slit my throat

Step two, play in my blood

Step three,cover me in dirty sheets

and run laughing out of the house

E Add9 B

Step four, stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse your crimson hands

You took me hostage and made your demands

Add9 B

I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one

Bridge:

This could be love - love for fire

This could be love - love for fire

This could be love - love for fire

This could be love for fire forevermore

Chorus:

Step one, slit my throat

Step two, play in my blood

Step three,cover me in dirty sheets

and run laughing out of the house

E Add9 B

Step four, stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse your crimson hands

You took me hostage and made your demands

Add9 B

I couldn't meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
