Alkaline Trio - I Remember A Rooftop

intro :
E B x3
C#m A

verse 1 :
E B C#m A
i remember a rooftop making out
downstairs the cupboard screamed so loud
i waited so long for that night
then i just turned away

B C#m A
and i know every street on the west side
E B A
but i was lost , unfound , not right
maybe there’s something wrong inside

verse :
E B C#m A
now i’ve got no where to go , my hands is all that i’ve got
i’m so sorry for so many things , that i haven’t said yet

B C#m A
this is the waiting room i spend my whole life in
E B A
they gave me a thousand hands so i could calm my sins
if i’m lucky , maybe i’ll finish before the roof caves in

interlude :
E B A
i lost my life on the first try
you found it miles down the line
a swollen face with three first names
you kiss the taste back in my tongue
you suck the smoke out of my lungs
and then we slept for days and days , and days

E B A
when we woke up , my heart had choked up
had to say i love you way too soon
but right there on your couch you loved me too
right there on your couch you loved me too

bridge :
E B x3
C#m A

verse :
E B C#m A
nineteen and sober once or twice
i caught some junky’s bad advice
up to my eyes in others problems
couldn’t see i’d never solve them

B C#m A
Am i only skin and bone and piss and pills unknown
E B A
i took my lousy shot at public recognition
could never pull the trigger if i wasn’t shaking

outro :
E B A
i lost my life on the first try
you found it miles down the line
a swollen face with three first names
you kiss the taste back in my tongue
you suck the smoke out of my lungs
and then we slept for days and days , and days

E B A
when we woke up , my heart had choked up
had to say i love you way too soon
but right there on your couch you loved me too
right there on your couch you loved me too
