Alkaline Trio
Only Love
Tuning: Standard EADGBe
Capo 2nd Fret
Transcribed by Ginge

I've tabbed this as an acoustic tune so note the 2nd Fret capo
You can add a little flourish to the intros and chorus outro's by playing an 
Asus4 . Listen to the tune and you?ll hear it.
Have fun!

INTRO
Em / / / ? G / / / ? Am / / / ? Am / / / ? x2

Em  G  Am
Whoa oh oh
Em  Bm/G  C
Whoa oh  oh

VERSE
Am
  How young are you 
Em               G
gonna be when you die?
          Em
I guess I never really 
              G
thought about that
             Em
You're dying when you 
               G/F#
start thinking like 
G                  D
that All I know is time 

is undefeated so far
Am               Em
  Get right with god 
            G
before it's time
           Em
I hear the telephone 
           G
works both ways
              Em
Think you can make a 
              G/F# G
little effort some day?
               D
I got an awful lot going
on with the things that
      Am             D
I can see and what I see are 
    Bm            Em
the reasons that I bleed
        Am              Em
And the blood I give to her 
               C
and her that's all there is


CHORUS
     G    Am
It's only love
     C
That keeps us here
         G
And this food and these
D                  C
drinks they're all poisoned
    G       Am          C
And life is dead so die well
with some good distractions
       G            D    C
At the end there is only love

Em  G  Am
Woah oh oh
Em  Bm/G  C
Woah oh  oh


VERSE
Am               Em
  Seperate these lies 
               G
like there's a truth
         Em
I didn't know it 
              G
if I had told you
                Em
You've all been lying 
                  G/F# G
since you murdered my youth
                    D
I know you're gonna take what's
left but you'll never see me 
Am            D
run No here I am can you 
Bm                 Em
see what's in these hands?
     Am           Em
It's everything I need 
          C
to see to breath to feel


CHORUS
     G    Am
It's only love
     C
That keeps us here
         G
And this food and these
D                  C
drinks they're all poisoned
    G       Am          C
And life is dead so die well
with some good distractions
       G            D    C
At the end there is only love

  I lie awake on this earth
