Chord/Tab song: Ruin It

Ruin It - Alkaline Trio
Transcribed by Ginge

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.

Verse

I've [Am]waited a long time for this [Dm]life
Just to [Am]ruin it, so please don't [Em]ruin this for me
Yes to [Am]understand this lie
Hell I [Dm]crossed those t's
I scratched out all these [Em]eyes, myself last [Dm]night
Em Am (intro riff x2)
What I promise not to find

So [Am]this is what I'm looking like these [Dm]days
I'm all grown[Am] up, so full of [Em]hate
But [Am]I don't wanna let go of my [Dm]rage
Cause it's the[Am] salt, that brings the [Em]taste

Chorus
So [F]where am I to decide that I'm not [G]right?
Cause I might [Am]break and [Em]I might[G] bend
Your heart strings [Am]out of [Em]tune ag[G]ain
And I might [Am]try to [Em]apologi[G]ze
On a good [Dm]day
On my b[G]est day
If [Em]you stick [Am]around

Am / / /Dm / / /Am / / /Em / / /

Verse

Did I [Am]stay inside to sterilize this [Dm]knife?
Am I being to [Am]careful? Does this [Em]seem right?
Did I [Am]open up the shades to[Dm] expose the sunny rays?
To [Am]show what burned there [Em]inside

Chorus

[F]Take a close look, Hold me right up in to the [G]light
Cause I might [Am]break and [Em]I might[G] bend
Your heart strings [Am]out of [Em]tune ag[G]ain
And I might [Am]try to [Em]apologi[G]ze
On a good [Dm]day
On my b[G]est day
If [Em]you stick [F]around

Middle 8

[F]I've waited for s[Am]o long
[F]I've waited for s[Dm]o long
Spread me [F]out, rake me in
This [Am]scorched and rocky field
Will [G]camouflage my skin

Chorus
And I might [Am]break and [Em]I might[G] bend
Your heart strings [Am]out of [Em]tune ag[G]ain
And I might [Am]try to [Em]apologi[G]ze
On a good [Dm]day
On my b[G]est day
If [Em]you stick [Am]around
On my [G]best day
If [Em]you stick [Am]around
