Alkaline Trio - Fatally Yours

Quite a short song, but still good. Another off the new album, out today.
Lots of octaves used in this song, which they seem to like to use and prepare
for a bit of up and down strumming, but it's not overly fast.
Standard tuning, enjoy

to Ariane - the grill and hood refers to the front of the car, the driver missed him, as in they didn't hit him. By far my favourite part of the song

i will say i love how the alk3 uses words. like in Radio when he says ive got a big fat fucking bone to pick with you, in case you havent heard im sick, *pause*, and tired of trying...and then in this one, with the "i dont hear from you no more, but i get the messag, you drove you car through my front door, i pulled you from the wreckage. you told me that you missed me, but you meant with the grill and hood. its just beautiful and they have so much of a grip on english, which makes them my fav band

to me it's about obsessing over a girl that frucking hates you and because of it you just want her more. fatally yours. 1

fucking check their lyrics. er basically i think the bit that everyone always misses in this song is the line You made a wish that won't come true, and now it's killing two, this either means its killing him and the girl or whoever its about, or it could mean that someone is pregnant....

Actually, if you sing the chorus repeatedly really fast, you'll really annoy people. It's fun. Ace song though. Actually, I didn't get the grill and hood mention. What did that bit mean? Could someone explain it to me? It sounded oddly kinky

Ye this song is about an addiction and then leaving some because of it. The chorus part is a bit like a goodbye letter... signing off with 'I'm fatally yours' great song

i love this song "I don't hear from you no more, but I get the message You crashed your car through my front door, I pulled you from the wreckage " and i love that part. how it's about being willing to do anything for someone just bevause you care about them so much even if they keep on hurting you

this songs about losing someone to an addiction, it says that on the official site. I've known people who've kind of started hating everyone who cares about them, it's terrible, and Alk3 describes it perfectly. in the end, he realizes that it's actually a cry for help, but it's too late, and they both end up hurt. really sad shit, it's funny that they wrote the music so happy and jumpy.

Thanks Childofthenight, that was great! :) Before i knew that was the meaning of this song i thought it had something to do with caring so much for someone that it doesnt matter what they do you will always forgive them, and i suppose it is a little. It reminds me of my best mate, god the shit hes put me through but i never get really mad and don't forgive him i love him too much
