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.

Verse 1 GAm My, my what a mess we've made BmC of our pretty little heads these days GAmBmC It appears a heavy wind's blown through here recently GAmBm Best wishes have been made for you CG You never had no say it's true AmBmC You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
Bridge DC And all your lonely nights in the city of lights DC are much like all these crowded bars DCG I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
Verse 2 GAmBm My, my what a mess was made of my head C when I heard what you'd been through that day GAmBmC It appears a violent storm's passed through you recently GAm Letters meant to be sent have been torn BmCG The phone lies off the hook, on the floor Am All these "I'm sorry"s and "I miss you"s are useless, BmC I fucked this one up long ago
Bridge DC And all your lonely nights in the city of lights DC are much like all these crowded bars DCG I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
Chorus GC Fuck you Aurora, DC You took my only friend GC And although it's all my fault, DC the blaming myself had to come to an end G so I say: C Fuck you Aurora, DC You took my only friend DC You wont catch me behind the wheel DCG of a Chrysler ever again
Verse 3 GAm My, my what a mess we've made BmC Of our precious little lives these days GAmBmC It appears a big fucking tornado has twisted us up recently GAmBm Best wishes have been made for you CG You never had no say it's true AmBmC You have to be the cutest gravedigger I've ever seen
Bridge DC And all your lonely nights in the city of lights DC are much like all these crowded bars DCG I so often find my stupid self stumbling through
Chorus GC Fuck you Aurora, DC You took my only friend GC And although it's all my fault, DC the blaming myself had to come to an end G so I say: C Fuck you Aurora, DC You took my only friend DC You wont catch me behind the wheel DCG of a Chrysler ever again
