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! --Kefra, 18 Dec 2004
