                                        Alkaline Trio - Sun Burns
My Shame is True

Transcribed by Ginge

Capo 2nd Fret


Intro
G / / / ¦ G / / / ¦ Em / / / ¦ Bm / C / ¦ x2


VERSE
G
Came up to the surface
         Em                           D
I cannot remember how long I've been swimming
C        G
Drowning
                                           Em
'Cause I've grown accustomed to all of the sharks
                       D
And they're not really breathing
C
Uh huh
                 Em       Bm        C
Now I won't just mind the gap, I'll fill it
             Em       D           C
If I'm gonna eat this mosquito of anger


CHORUS
          G                Bm          C
I haven't really made the most of this life
                  G                              Bm       C
From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right
           G       Em       Bm         C
One time I told my heart to shut up
                G     D            C
But I know that I can win back her trust
               G         D              C   
I owe at least that much to the both of us

G / / / ¦ G / / / ¦ Em / / / ¦ Bm / C / ¦ x2


VERSE
G                                 Em        
Developed a knack for this dull conversation
               D                      C
I'd sharpen my wit, but what's my motivation?
G                                        Em
Don't need to be clever to tell you that I'm just
                      D                          C
A total mess and that I must throw that old self away
           Em        Bm         C
If I don't get right now I will always
           Em                      D                   C
Eat what's decayed, sleep with the snakes here in this cold grave


CHORUS
          G                Bm          C
I haven't really made the most of this life
                  G                              Bm       C
From here on I'll spit back whatever don't taste right
           G       Em       Bm         C
One time I told my heart to shut up
                G     D            C
But I know that I can win back her trust
               G         D              C   
I owe at least that much to the both of us 


VERSE/OUTRO
Em
I was waiting (Waiting)
C                                 G
For this to happen to happen to me
              D
But nothing's happening
Em        C               G 
I feel my skin as the sun burns in
                         D
And something in me says let it
                           G             Em
'Cause one more look might change it all
Bm         C        G             Em
One more word might change it all
Bm        C        G             Em
One more try might change it all
Bm        C         G            Em
One more kiss might change it all
C   Bm   Am         G
One more look might change it all
