Alkaline Trio es una banda de Chicago, compuesta actualmente por Matt Skiba, Dan Andriano y Derek Grant. Su punk pop es bastante peculiar, con constantes alusiones (gráficas, escritas y físicas) a lo gótico, la muerte, el fuego, corazones rotos o el alcoholismo.
La banda se formó en diciembre de 1996 con Matt Skiba a la cabeza (después de pasar previamente como batería por grupos como Jerkwater o The Traitors) de las voces y la guitarra principal, Rob Doran como bajo y voces , y Glenn Porter en la batería.

Verse 1: BmA They turn the lights down low DG In shadows hiding from the world DABm Only coming out when it gets cold
BmA The seas part when they hit the floor DG The voices carry on and out the door DABm And everything you touch turns into gold
Chorus 1: DGABmAGABm Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest GA Your eyes they penetrate me Bm your answers always maybe DABm Thats when I got up and left
Verse 2: BmA A beating heart and a microphone DG A ticking clock in an empty home DABm Still tells of these times so long ago
BmA And even though Ive come so far DG I know Ive got so far to go and I DABm any day now Ill explode
Chorus 2: DGABmAGABm Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest GA Your eyes they penetrate me Bm your answers always maybe DABm Thats when I got up and left
Solo: BmGAD, BmGA x2
Bridge: BmA Each and everyday DG it leads into tomorrow DABm And tomorrow brings one less day without you
BmA But dont wait up just leave the light on DG Cause all the roads that I might take DABm will all one day lead back to you
Chorus 3: DGABmAGABm Like the angel you are you laugh creating a lightness in my chest GA Your eyes they penetrate me Bm your answers always maybe DABm Thats when I got up and left
