Alkaline Trio (ou Alk3) é uma banda norte-americana de punk rock formada em Chicago. Muito do charme da banda é atribuído ao contraste dos estilos de cantar e escrever de Matt Skiba e Dan Andriano. Foi uma das primeiras bandas a unir o estilo hardcore a linhas mais melódicas assim como bandas como Fugazi e Embrace. Ao longo dos anos foram consolidando a sua carreira com um estilo básico e simples que já é sua marca.

GBmCEm My my what a mess we've made C Of our pretty little heads these days GBmCEmC It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently GBmCEm Best wishes have been made for you CG You never had no say it's true BmCEmC You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
[Pre-Chorus]
DC And all your lonely nights D In the city of lights are much like CDCG All these crowded bars I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

GBmCEm My my what a mess was made of my head C When I heard what you'd been through that day GBmCEmC It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently GBmCEm Letters meant to be sent have been torn C The phone lies off the hook on the floor GBmC All these I'm sorry s and I miss you s are useless EmC I f ked this one up long ago

DC And all your lonely nights D In the city of lights are much like CDCG All these crowded bars I so often find my stupid self stumbling through

GCDC f k you Aurora you took my only friend GC And although it's all my fault DCG The blaming myself had to come to an end So I say CDC f k you Aurora you took my only friend DC You won't catch me behind the wheel DCG Of a Chrysler ever again
