This is Alkaline Trio's "Eating Me Alive", track 8 from their record 'This
Addiction'. Half-Step Tuning.
I'm well aware that some of the chord places are wrong, but when I'm previewing
the tab it's coming out right, so you're going to have to play it so it sound right yourself.
Intro: C, G, A5, C, G, A5, F, G
Verse 1:
[C]Well I found you outside like a sunrise,
That me[G]lted my eyes from my skull.
As I turned into a[E5]sh before for my sweet demise,
The en[F]d of me was so b[G]eautiful.
Well now you're stu[C]ck in my head like a lo[G]ve song,
That climbed to the top of the charts.
How the fu[E5]ck can something be so right and so wrong?
All the w[F]rong words but all the right p[G]arts.
Chorus: (Staccato)
And you can [A5]sit there and te[F5]ll me that I [C5]didn't [G5]try,
And I can ho[A5]nestly te[F5]ll you that I[C5] never [G5]lied.
I can't [A5]stand this dark [F5]feeling, the [C5]shark eating me[G5] up i[F]nside.
[G]Eating me al[F]ive[G]
[F]Eating me al[G]ive[F]
Verse 2:
[C]Well I found you out there in the moonlight,
In your eye[G]s there were diamonds like stars.
I was bou[E5]nd by your father, the jewel thief,
That night as you s[F]aid he was still behind ba[G]rs.
[C]Now you're stuck in my head like a love song,
The wor[G]ds I can never forget.
As I s[E5]ucked on your neck for way too long,
And drained you of every last d[F]rop you had [G]left.
Chorus: (Staccato)
And you can [A5]sit there and te[F5]ll me that I [C5]didn't [G5]try,
And I can ho[A5]nestly te[F5]ll you that I[C5] never [G5]lied.
I can't [A5]stand this dark [F5]feeling, the [C5]shark eating me[G5] up i[F]nside.
[G]Eating me ali[F]ve[G]
[F]Eating me ali[G]ve[F]
Bridge:
[F]Here lies a homi[G]cidal s[C]tory, s[G]ad but true.
[C]The time has come and gone but I'd d[F]o anyth[G]ing for you.
Chorus: (Faster, Smoother Rhythm)
And you can [A5]sit there and te[F5]ll me that I [C5]didn't [G5]try,
And I can ho[A5]nestly te[F5]ll you that I[C5] never [G5]lied.
I can't [A5]stand this dark [F5]feeling, the [C5]shark eating me[G5] up i[F]nside.
[G]Eating me al[F]ive
[G]Eating me al[F]ive
[C]Eating me alive.
