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!
