This is probablly my favorite alkaline trio song, and I like to play it acoustic 
so this is how i play it.

A                                       E
When was it that you lost your youth or traded
A                                        D
It for something more for them to use so jaded
A
Why is it that you never said
E
I love you more than just a friend
F#m
I pray this gridlock never ends
D                     E
And when we get there just depends
A                                 E
I found out recently that you are leaving
A                                D
For good I hope I softly tell my ceiling
A
It's better now to be alive
D
Sleeping is my 9 to 5
F#m
I'm having nightmares all the time
D                 E
Of running out of words that rhyme


A                               E
Everything that you could never say
                      F#m
Would never matter anyway
                        D           E             A
I took a hammer and two nails to my eardrums long ago
A                               E
Before that steak knife took my eyes
                   F#m
I looked up to the sky
                           D
For the last thing I would ever see
    E                 A
For the last time I'd cry


A                                      E
When was it that you sold your life or wasted
      A                                  D
Every bite of that small slice you never tasted
A
I guess I should be one to talk
E
There's nights that I can't even walk
F#m
There's days I couldn't give a fuck
D                 E
And in between is where I'm stuck
     A                            E
From blocks away I heard somebody screaming
           A                                 D
That small child inside of you that you left bleeding
A
You stabbed him up not once but twice
E
Cubicles will now suffice
F#m
Some say it's the roll of the dice
D                       E
I think they're wrong I know I'm right


A                                E
Every breath that I could barely breathe
                             F#m
Could barely make it past my teeth
                           D             E               A
I took a blowtorch to both of my lungs a long long time ago
A                           E
And every step that i could take
                           F#m
Each one more difficult to make
                      D              E                A
Mr. Chainsaw came and took my legs a long, long time ago

A                   E
In case youre wondering were singing
F#m               D            E
About growing up, about giving in
A                   E
In case youre wondering were singing
F#m                D
About growing up
             E             A
About giving up and giving in


thats it, pretty basic but fun to play
