			     OFF THE MAP - Alkaline Trio
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SONG: "Off the Map"
ARTIST: Alkaline Trio
ALBUM: This Addiction (2010)

WORDS: Dan Andriano
MUSIC: Alkaline Trio

===============================================================================
** NOTES **

Dan is notorious for throwing in small flourishes and making slight variations
to recurring sections.  Instead of trying to roadmap everything with a jumble 
of notes, here's the entire song as-is.

Everything is played in straight 16th notes.  Just follow along.

Lyrics below.

Enjoy!

LYRICS

Verse 1

I needed more wine, you needed more sleep.
We just fought two hours and seven minutes.
Honestly, I'm surprised we made it.
I retired to my chair, I grabbed my new guitar,
But I can't make a sound.
You could hear poisonous pins dropping all around like rain.
But I can ride this storm out,
Because I'm like a junkie for your smart mouth.

Chorus 1

See, I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining, and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore some day.
So, are you coming with me?
Anchors away!

Verse 2

I loosen my lips, and the truth slips out.
A free ride on a forked tongue,
This twine of trust is unspun.
I could start to believe that's what you need from me,
So far from what I want for you,
But I'll lock it down, and we'll make do.
You're right, there's only one real option,
And I'm here now, so help me keep my voice down.

Chorus 2

See, I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining, and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore some day.
So, are you coming with me?
Anchors away!

Chorus 3

Yeah, I'm so far off the map the sun is shining
While it's raining, and I'm draped in silver lining.
And I can row, row, row my boat back to shore some day.
So, are you coming with me?
Anchors away!
