Dashboard Confessional - Water And Bridges


Capo 2


        G       D/F#
There's things I know I 
Em                    D
should have mentioned sooner
      C     D
But I didn't know how
    G      D/F#
I'm sorry I lost you
  Em                 D
I never thought that this 
             C
could come between us
  D       G        D/F#
I know its water and bridges now
    Em
But what's the sense 
   D        C
in carrying around
     D           C
This weight These words 
    D
are tearing me apart


G - Bm - C - Em - C - G


Chorus 1:
G
  And that's enough for 
the back to break
Bm                C
  That's an awful lot to take
    Em               C
But I've been paying for 
           G
it since I drove my girl away
G
  And that's the sign 
of a solemn man
Bm
  I'll make the best of 
    C
the best I can
    Em             C
And I'll be better for it 
     G
if I ever get my chance


G - D/F# - Em - D - C - D


Verse 3:
     G     D/F#  Em
That face I know exactly 
            D
what you're thinking
        C
But I'm certain this 
D      G
time is different
    D/F#         Em
And that's why I can't pretend
     D            C
that everything is mended
  D        G
I know I've tried to 
    D/F#
for too long now
    Em
But what's the sense 
   D        C
in carrying around
     D
This weight 
      C
These words are 
D
tearing us apart


(Repeat Chorus 1)


Bridge:
Em   D   G        C
  Oh save me from a gray life
Em   D   G        C
  Oh save me from a gray life
Em     D       G
  I've paid the price 
        C  Em  D   C
with my soul Oh save me


G - Em - D - C - Bm - C - D


Chorus 2:
G
  And that's enough for 
the back to break
Bm                C
  That's an awful lot to take
    Em               C
But I've been paying for 
           G
it since I drove my girl away
Em
  And that's the sign 
of a solemn man
Bm
  I'll make the best of 
    C
the best I can
    Em             C
And I'll be better for it 
     G
if I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
If I ever get my chance
