Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This was taken directly from the sheet music .pdf the band released on their website.
Don't tell me that the chords and lyrics don't match up / aren't correct, because Alkaline Trio
released this themselves for a contest earlier this year.
All these chords are power chords (eg. G -> G5). I suppose you could play them barre if you wanted to
go for the acoustic version, but it is what it is.

G Bm C
Take a look, you see I painted you a picture
G Bm C
It's black and white, except the blood's a little richer
Em Bm C
Down in the corner where I gave it my signature
Em C D
Then I titled it, "This one's for the winter"
G C D
Check it out you see it's just a big disaster
G Bm C G
I'll dedicate it to the fact that it's so hard for you to dream
Bm C Em
A million heartbeats all around you make it hard to sleep
Bm C Em
It doesn't help you're freezing in your bed, your blankets aren't enough
C D G
All you want is someone there, and all you say is, "So what"
C D G
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
C D Em
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
C D Em
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
C D G
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone
C D G C D
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
[Repeat intro]
G Bm
G
Well do you find you like to fall in love with people that you're never gonna meet?
Bm C Em
It's easier than breaking up and crying in the street
Bm C Em
Do you curse the happy couple? Do you cringe at wedding bells?
C D G
Do you drink up all the punch while you wish 'em all to hell?
C D G
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
C D Em
You're making me sick, I wish you'd just stop showing off
C D Em
For the rest of us that no one wants to love
C D G
It's hard enough trying to drink another winter all alone
C D G C D
Love love, kiss kiss... blah blah blah
Em G D C Em
You can't escape this fatal case of melancholia
G D Em
It's in your face, in every place you go... it's stalking you
G D C D
There are days when we all say we feel we just can't go on
C D
But you've felt this way all along
