This Could Be Love Chords

   
This is a acoustic version of Alkaline Trio's "This Could Be Love". 
You can play the standard chords but I would suggest to add a high B & E note 
(string 5 & 6)to every chord (exept for the F#m). Play the chords like this:

C#m   (x46600)
Aadd9 (002200)
F#m   (2442xx)
B     (x24400)
E     (024400)

Feel free to comment or correct! Have fun!

C#m        
I've got a book of matches

I've got a can of kerosene

C#m                     Aadd9     F#m
I've got some bad ideas involving you and me

C#m
I don't blame you for walking away

    Aadd9            F#m
I touched myself had thoughts of flames

  C#m 
I shat the bed and laid there in it

Thinking of you wide awake for days

F#m
Wide awake for days

And I found you tongue-tied in my twisted little brain

You couldn't crack a smile

Aadd9     F#m
I didn't catch your name

I don't blame you for walking away

I'd do the same if I saw me

 C#m 
I swear it's not contagious

Step one, slit my throat
     
     Aadd9             B

Step three,cover me in dirty sheets                                           

        Aadd9               B
and run laughing out of the house

      E                                     Add9              B
Step four, stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse your crimson hands

  Aadd9                   B
You took me hostage and made your demands

I'm like a broken record
I've got a needle scratching me

I swear it's not contagious
I swear to God it's not contagious
