Song

Weak Week

by Alkaline Trio

tabbed by: Darby Edelen

My second tab for the trio. Not sure how many there are of this song out there.

I don't think they ever play this live and i doubt there are any recordings better

than the demo. As a result the lyrics I have are my own (probably incorrect)

interpretations. Parts that I think may be wrong are in (parentheses).

The Lyrics!

Verse:

11:11 says the clock at the pool

made a friend for a day (and understanding)

A way out would be nice

I'll have no good advice

When the clock begins to scream 12 after

Prechorus:

So take a walk with (screamers)

(God I just hope to die*)

(all these/every four) days it can't be weaker

Waiting

Chorus:

And even if bugs turn into people

to ask if you're alright

you'd say 'yes' and smile

(Now the outcome of) every day

(weaker) days away

*Pretty sure this line is wrong
