Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Well, I don't know about you, but I do know that Dashboard Confessional's tendency to
use weird tunings pisses me off. So, here's a version that only makes you tune down a
half step--easy to undo afterwards.
[Tune guitar down 1/2 step--Eb Ab Db Gb Bb eb]
**Verse 1** (lead-in: G G G F#m)
A E
I'm missing you bad, I never sleep.
F#m E
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak.
F#m A D G G G F#m
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.
A E
I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets,
F#m A
But you're not alone, and you're not discrete.
F#m A D G G G F#m
Make sure I know who's taking me home.
A E
I'm reading your note over again,
F#m E
And there's not a word that I comprehend,
F#m A B
Except where you signed it "I will love you always and forever."
**Bridge**
E--2-3-5--5-3-2--0-2-3-2-0-2--3--3--3-2---0--2--0-0-5-
B---------------------------------------3-------------
**Chorus**
F#m D
Well as for now I'm gonna hear the saddest songs,
F#m D E
And sit alone and wonder, how you're making out.
F#m Am
But as for me, I wish that I was anywhere,
A D
With anyone, making out...
**Verse 2** (G G G F#m)
F#m A
I'm missing your laugh, how did it break?
F#m A
And when did your eyes begin to look fake?
F#m D G G G F#m
I hope you're as happy as you're pretending.
F#m A
I'm cuddling close to blankets and sheets.
F#m A
I am alone in my defeat,
F#m D G G G F#m
I wish I knew we were safely at home.
F#m A
I'm missing you bad, I never sleep.
F#m Am
Avoiding the spots where we'd have to speak.
F#m D
And this bottle of beast is taking me home.
**Bridge**
**Chorus**
**Outro**
E D E D F#m D F#m D
Your hair, it's everywhere. Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
E D E D F#m D F#m D
Your hair, it's everywhere. Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
[and then when the singing gets up into that castrati range the 3rd time:]
A G A G A G D
Your hair, it's everywhere!! Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
[And to close the song:]
E D E D F#m D F#m D
Your hair, it's everywhere. Screaming infidelities and taking its wear.
Notes: Wherever "G G G F#m" is indicated, you can just play those notes on the top
string of the guitar instead of playing the whole chord.
Also, the tab for the bridge is approximate--generally it puts the right notes in the
right places but listen to the track to get it 100% correct.
Fingerings:
D=200232 (use your thumb on the sixth string; this is technically a D/F# chord, but
Dashboard loves getting the most out of their six guitar strings so use this chord to
better reflect that)
E=022100
F#m=244222
G=320033/355433 (use the barre G to transition from G to F#m)
Am=x02210/577555 (use the barre chords if you're able to use all 6 strings,
A=x02220/577655 as Dashboard is fond of doing)
B=x24442/799877
Good luck!
