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.

A It's been a long day living with this F#mD It's been a long time since I felt so sick A I took a long walk straight back home F#mD I could've walked back to San Francisco A I used to long for time alone F#mD I used to long for a place of my own A And I'm losing faith in everything F#mD I'm lost, so lost, I'm lost at sea, you see
AF#mD x2
A I used to long for broken bones F#mD I used to long for a casket to call my own A I never had a problem facing fear F#mD But I'm done, over and done, my dear, and
F#mD Oh mercy me AE God bless catastrophe F#mD There's no way in hell AE We'll ever live to see through this so F#mED Drive yourself insane tonight F#mED It's not that far away and F#mEDA I just filled up your tank earlier today
EAD (Yeah!)
( C#BA ) [This quick progression is there on the album, but I'd skip it in an open-chord acoustic and just hold the D a bit longer or something.]
