D# Standard/Half a step down (D#G#C#F#A#D#)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
Power chords:
E5(022xxx)

C#5(x466xx)

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 you B5meant just for the A5week
E5We felt so good A5together
It was B5way too good to A5be
When I C#5left you there early that A5morning my darling
I E5told you that I'd miss you B5so
I A5got on that plane with my heart soaringB5
But now it's falling like snoE5w
