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