    Alkaline Trio

I decided to make an acoustic version of this song so I could have a more full
sound when I play it solo.  It's great for when you want something to back up
your singing and you don't have a full band.  The chords are all correct but
there might be minor typos on chord placement and lyrics. Anyways, if you have
any questions, comments, requests(for acoustic versions of songs), or corrections
e-mail me at nrlsky1@yahoo.com or talk to me on AIM at Q67.
