This is Alkaline Trio's "Eating Me Alive", track 8 from their record 'This 
Addiction'. Half-Step Tuning.

I'm well aware that some of the chord places are wrong, but when I'm previewing 
the tab it's coming out right, so you're going to have to play it so it sound right yourself.

Intro: C, G, A5, C, G, A5, F, G

Verse 1: 
CWell (x32010@1)I found you outside like a sunrise,
       GThat (320003@1)melted my eyes from my skull.

      F (133211@1)             GThe (320003@1)end of me was so beautiful.
