Alkaline Trio Mr. Chainsaw Lyrics

#
#I decided to make an acoustic version of this song so I could have a more full
#sound when I play it solo. It's great for when you want something to back up
#your singing and you don't have a full band. The chords are all correct but
#there might be minor typos on chord placement and lyrics. Anyways, if you have
#any questions, comments, requests(for acoustic versions of songs), or corrections
#e-mail me at nrlsky1@yahoo.com or talk to me on AIM at Q67.

When was it that you lost your youth or traded
su
It for something more for them to use so jaded
Why is it that you never said
I love you more than just a friend
I pray this gridlock never ends
And when we get there just depends
su
I found out recently that you are leaving
su
For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling
It's better now to be alive
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
I'm having nightmares all the time
Of running out of words that rhyme
Everything that you could never say
Would never matter anyway
I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago
Before that steak knife took my eyes
I looked up to the sky
For the last thing I would ever see
For the last time I'd cry

When was it that you sold your life or wasted
Every bite of that small slice you never tasted
I guess I should be one to talk
There's nights that I can't even walk
There's days I couldn't give a fuck
And in between is where I'm stuck
us4
From blocks away I heard somebody screaming
That small child inside of you that you left bleeding
You stabbed him up not once but twice
Cubicles will now suffice
Some say it's the roll of the dice
I think they're wrong I know I'm right
Every breath that I could barely breathe
Could barely make it past my teeth
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago
Every step that I could take
Every one more difficult to make
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago

In case you're wondering
I'm singing about growing up about giving in
In case you're wondering
I'm singing about growing up about giving in
In case you're wondering
I'm singing about growing up about giving in
In case you're wondering
We're singing about growing up about giving in
In case you're wondering
We're singing about growing up about giving in
In case you're wondering
We're singing about giving up and giving in
