Alligator. Alligators – Trophy Scars
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This is just an acoustic version. I just sat and learned the chords one day, in under 10 
It’s a personal favorite. Makes me really nostalgic…
So I'm rCunning down Fifth Avenue headed south.
I'm gAmoing to get you thEmat ring I've been thinking about.
I hope tEmhat you Amwill like it, I know that you'll like it.
I kAmnow you've got your Cnecklace and bracelets so it's different,
IC'm different. I know that you're different.
And it dAmoesn't make a difference, our differences differ
cauEmse it makes us the same and I needed the change
to cAmall you that day I tried to get you that ring.
I said "BCaby, it's Jerry, my cell phone is dead.
I nAmeed you, I'm freezing my cheeks are rose red."
So you cEmame to my rescue and kissed my cold lips;
you Amsaid "Baby I'm here. Please don't miss me like this!"
But I dCid, and I do, and I will, and I won't
seAmttle for my bed that's increasingly cold.
I drEmeam every night that you're biting my wrists;
New OAmrleans and vampires, I miss you like this.
And I dCid.
I mCet you at a party, you grabbed me and smiled.
You knAmew me from class, I fell for you like a child.
It Emwas just an accident, I don't know what happened.
NAmext thing I knew we were kissing and laughing
and I tCook you to dinner, we danced in my kitchen.
We tAmried to be quiet when Lauren knew we were kissing.
We pEmartied real hard and we stayed up until dawn
hAmaving the best you know what all day long.
RemCember when Kevin walked in on us drunk
then we mAmessed up his car, man that party was fun.
I lEmoved watching you play your piano and violin
and you lAmoved it when I tried to sing you to bed.
You saiCd "Baby, oh baby, please sing me to sleep!"
Man I trAied and I tried not to slip out of key
but I Emdid, like I do so I'd stop to kiss
you but you'd aAmlready be sleeping, and I laughed cause it's cute.
I miss yCou.
EClliott Smith was right when he said
"NAmobody broke 'my' heart"
Yeah, I broke Emmy own...
'caAmuse I can't finish what I start.
Don't leCave me, don't leave me. The Bronx is my coffin
and Amyou are my chocolate; put kisses in my pocket.
AEmlligator, alligators, all covered in orange
bAmiting my fingernails while you dream of New Orleans.
WellC, for kissing in taxi cabs, romance and restaurants;
for eAmating home-made dinners that took me too long;
for Emyour dark hair, dark eyes, and all your surprises;
for the Amway that I run, and Clark Kent, I decided that
I wCant you to be happy with whatever you do.
And wheAmrever you are, I'll be thinking of you.
I'm sEmorry, I'm an asshole, I said things I don't mean.
ThAmank you for everything I'll miss you Lizzy G.
And I dCo.

Alligator. Alligators – Trophy Scars

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

This is just an acoustic version. I just sat and learned the chords one day, in under 10

It’s a personal favorite. Makes me really nostalgic…

So I'm running down Fifth Avenue headed south.

Am Em

I'm going to get you that ring I've been thinking about.

Em Am

I hope that you will like it, I know that you'll like it.

Am C

I know you've got your necklace and bracelets so it's different,

I'm different. I know that you're different.

And it doesn't make a difference, our differences differ

cause it makes us the same and I needed the change

to call you that day I tried to get you that ring.

I said "Baby, it's Jerry, my cell phone is dead.

I need you, I'm freezing my cheeks are rose red."

So you came to my rescue and kissed my cold lips;

you said "Baby I'm here. Please don't miss me like this!"

But I did, and I do, and I will, and I won't

settle for my bed that's increasingly cold.

I dream every night that you're biting my wrists;

New Orleans and vampires, I miss you like this.

And I did.

I met you at a party, you grabbed me and smiled.

You knew me from class, I fell for you like a child.

It was just an accident, I don't know what happened.

Next thing I knew we were kissing and laughing

and I took you to dinner, we danced in my kitchen.

We tried to be quiet when Lauren knew we were kissing.

We partied real hard and we stayed up until dawn

having the best you know what all day long.

Remember when Kevin walked in on us drunk

then we messed up his car, man that party was fun.

I loved watching you play your piano and violin

and you loved it when I tried to sing you to bed.

You said "Baby, oh baby, please sing me to sleep!"

Man I tried and I tried not to slip out of key

but I did, like I do so I'd stop to kiss

you but you'd already be sleeping, and I laughed cause it's cute.

I miss you.

Elliott Smith was right when he said

"Nobody broke 'my' heart"

Yeah, I broke my own...

'cause I can't finish what I start.

Don't leave me, don't leave me. The Bronx is my coffin

and you are my chocolate; put kisses in my pocket.

Alligator, alligators, all covered in orange

biting my fingernails while you dream of New Orleans.

Well, for kissing in taxi cabs, romance and restaurants;

for eating home-made dinners that took me too long;

for your dark hair, dark eyes, and all your surprises;

for the way that I run, and Clark Kent, I decided that

I want you to be happy with whatever you do.

And wherever you are, I'll be thinking of you.

I'm sorry, I'm an asshole, I said things I don't mean.

Thank you for everything I'll miss you Lizzy G.

And I do.
