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
