Ruin It Lyrics

Ruin It - Alkaline Trio
3rd Fret Capo !!!
I think that this song is mostly correct. I seem to have been the only person who
has attempted to transcribe it yet. There are a few bass line fills that are based
around the root chord that can be played with a bit of practise. Listen to the
track to pick them up.
Please comment if you find any corrections.

I've waited a long time for this life
Just to ruin it, so please don't ruin this for me
Yes to understand this lie
Hell I crossed those t's
I scratched out all these eyes, myself last night
Em Am (intro riff x2)
What I promise not to find
So this is what I'm looking like these days
I'm all grown up, so full of hate
But I don't wanna let go of my rage
Cause it's the salt, that brings the taste
So where am I to decide that I'm not right?
Cause I might break and I might bend
Your heart strings out of tune again
And I might try to apologize
On a good day
On my best day
If you stick around
Did I stay inside to sterilize this knife?
Am I being to careful? Does this seem right?
Did I open up the shades to expose the sunny rays?
To show what burned there inside
Take a close look, Hold me right up in to the light
Cause I might break and I might bend
Your heart strings out of tune again
And I might try to apologize
On a good day
On my best day
If you stick around
Middle 8
I've waited for so long
I've waited for so long
Spread me out, rake me in
This scorched and rocky field
Will camouflage my skin
And I might break and I might bend
Your heart strings out of tune again
And I might try to apologize
On a good day
On my best day
If you stick around
On my best day
If you stick around
