Dead On the Floor (Acoustic Version) - Alkaline Trio - This Addiction
D# Standard/Half a step down (D#G#C#F#A#D#)
Arranged/Tabbed By Jack Cookson (Torn Asunder)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the chords for the acoustic of 'Dead On the Floor' off Alkaline
Trio's new album: This Addiction. It came out today and this song was one of
my favourites. The band play it half a step down in the acoustic version, but
you could play the electric version in standard tuning from these chords and
it would sound fine. If you're playing this song solo, then ignore the tab
parts, they're just there for if you got a second guitarist handy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
*IMPORTANT*
The chords used in this song are shown below,
as I think the highlight chord diagrams are incorrect a lot of the time.
Although in the recording the chords Matt uses are power chords, I've put
in some chord variations that sound nice too, they'll give the song more
feeling if you're playing on your own.
Don't play the strings marked with an 'x'
Power chords:
E5 (022xxx)
A5 (x022xx)
B5 (x244xx)
C#5 (x466xx)
Variations:
Emodal (079900)
Asus2 (x02200)
Bsus4 (x24400)
C#m7 (x46600)

This is riff is played again later on, you'll see.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I took a E5blind leap of faith, it's not crashing and burning
With my A5heart fast asleep in your B5bed
I goE5t on the ground safe but with my insides turning
And a A5picture of you in my B5head
As I wC#5andered away deep in A5shock and dismay
In a E5daze, just repeating your B5name
Well the A5fact of the matter is both our hearts shatter way B5too goddamn easily
When you E5asked me if I'd stay A5forever
Guess youB5 meant just for the A5week
E5 We felt so good A5together
It was B5way too good toA5 be
When I C#5left you there early that A5morning my darling
I E5told you that I'd miss youB5 so
IA5 got on that plane with my heart soaring B5
But now it's falling like snoE5w
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Play interlude riff again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like two E5ships in the night we're colliding and sinking
InA5to the black sea of our lB5ove
We naviE5gated past the port of logical thinking
Lost A5sight of the stars uB5p above
Now my C#5heart is a mess
Murder A5scene in my chest
Not aE5 clue how you got through theB5 door
But I'mE5 glad that you came
No B5regret and no shame
As I'm A5lying here dead on the B5floor
When you E5asked me if I'd stay A5forever
Guess youB5 meant just for the A5week
E5 We felt so good A5together
It was B5way too good toA5 be
When I C#5left you there early that A5morning my darling
I E5told you that I'd miss youB5 so
IA5 got on that plane with my heart soaring B5
But now it's falling like snE5ow A5
B5Now it's falling like E5snow A5
B5Now it's falling like E5snow A5 B5 E5 A5
B5And now it's falling like E5snow
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Play this riff between every 'now it's falling like snow' line, with the
actual line of the song starting on each B5, Matt doesn't actually sing
the line after the second one, but the music is the same.

Sorry if this part is a bit hard to understand, but if you listen to the song
enough, you should get it :).
