"1st Verse"-
He likes to act like he's all grown up.
He wanted to grow up to be
An actor, but he never told anybody.
He likes to spill all of his guts
On the top of a well-stocked bar,
And then swallow them bit by bit, remembering every scar.

"1st Pre-chorus"-
It's a valid reason
For every drink.
And a new tattoo is a new reason to think.

"2nd Verse"-
He likes to pretend that he's all sewn up.
It makes for a much stronger case,
But there is blood underneath that skin
That scar is not so easy to erase.
He walks with a glass cane now.
He's careful, when holding his body up straight.
Can't go outside anymore when it's raining.
Can't smash up that beautiful face.

Another innocent girl, just made his list.
That self-pity ***, It's just too hard to resist.

Yeah it's way to easy to fake this smile,

Well maybe I'm wrong,

==============================================================================
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official ALKALINE TRIO tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
